MLCCMultiple-Layer Capacitors Interleave Dielectric and Electrode Layers

MLCCMultiple-layer capacitors interleave dielectric and electrode layers. This type of capacitor has increased current handling capacity, higher Q, and lower internal series resistance than conventional capacitors of the same size and capacitance. maker Holy Stone saw its consolidated revenues increase 11% sequentially in November 2013, while sales at fellow company Honey Hope Honesty (3H), which distributes Japan-made MLCCs, slipped 8.9% on month.

Holy Stone's November revenues of NT$1.53 billion (US$51.58 million) were also up 26.1% from a year earlier, and accumulated sales of NT$14.53 billion for the January-November period showed an increase of 7.9% on year.

Holy Stone has also strengthened its deployments in the power-saving lighting, telematics, industrial and wireless transmission segments, expecting sales from these sectors to contribute more in 2014.

3H's November revenues totaled NT$338 million, which were also down 36.3% from a year earlier. For the first 11 months of 2013, 3H posted revenues of NT$4.27 billion, down 2.3% on year.

3H has seen its MLCCMultiple-layer capacitors interleave dielectric and electrode layers. This type of capacitor has increased current handling capacity, higher Q, and lower internal series resistance than conventional capacitors of the same size and capacitance. orders from the smartphone, notebook and tablet sectors declining progressively in the fourth quarter due to seasonality, according to industry sources.
