AVX Expands Offering of CF Series Capacitors

April 04, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

AVX Corp. (Myrtle Beach, SC) has expanded its offering of chip capacitors to include smaller case sizes in the CF Series of surface-mount chip film capacitors. This extended range of film capacitors now includes case sizes 1206 and 1210, supplementing the existing range of CF products already available.

The film capacitors are available in standard and non-standard chip sizes and include high-temperature metallized polyethylene teraphtalate and metallized polyethylene naphtalate. Metallized polysulfone dielectrics are planned to be introduced at a later date. They feature CV ratings from 1nF, 63V to 1µF, 250V, in tolerances of ±5 percent and ±10 percent. They are available in eight standard case sizes.

“The addition of these smaller case sizes allows AVX to offer its customers the widest selection of products to date," said Vince Smith, AVX product manager. “Now all of our customers can benefit from this increased range of options."

The new CF Series capacitors are available in bulk or tape-and-reel for automatic insertion. They are suitable for infrared and vapor-phase reflow processes. Typical pricing starts at $600 in quantities. Samples are available in six weeks. Lead times are 16 weeks.
