Three series of AVX multi-layer organic capacitors MLO featuring high self-resonance are now available from Avnet. The organic polymer based capacitors add cost benefits and tolerance control, due to the components fabrication on large area substrates and state of the art laser direct imaging.
The capacitor is a shift away from the traditional ceramic and thin film passive SMDDiscrete miniature capacitors which are packaged without leads and fastened directly to foil patterns. components, providing a low-profile component that is able to support frequencies well above one GHz.The array of features such as low ESRLow Equivalent Series ResistanceLow Equivalent Series ResistanceLow Equivalent Series Resistance, high self-resonance, tight tolerance and low dielectricThe insulating material between the plates of the capacitor. The material is chosen for its ability to permit electrostatic attraction and repulsion to take place across it. The material will have the property that energy required to establish an electric field is recoverable in whole or in part, as electric energy. In other words, a good dielectric material is a poor conductor of electricity while being an effective supporter of electrostatic fields. absorption make the capacitor ideal for use in applications such as RF power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, filter networks and instrumentation, says the company.
