Jaro Components Debuts CCL Series Ceramic Capacitors

August 29, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Jaro Components Inc. announced the creation of a new lead-free, ceramic chip capacitor. The new CCL Series of capacitors are designed to meet the upcoming 2005 lead-free requirement, as well as mandatory environmental protection standards that will soon require environmental-impact substances such as lead to be eliminated.

For companies doing business in Europe, where the sale of lead-bearing electronic products will be restricted after January 1, 2004, this is a big plus. According to Jaro spokesperson Dennis Eisen, "the elimination of lead from our capacitors improves the heat resistance property for reflow (paste) soldering. This allows higher melting points for the solder to significantly shrink the process window. The new lead-free capacitors complement Jaro's pre-existing lines of lead-free chip resistors and inductors."

Pricing for the new CCL Series ceramic chip capacitor (CCL0805XR102KN50PR) is $0.012 each for 12,000 pieces with standard delivery in six to eight weeks.
