Surface-mount MLCCs Offer Up to 6.8µF Capacitance

Available with both C0G (NPO) and X7R/X5R dielectrics, Vishay Intertechnology Inc.'s VJ series of non-magnetic surface-mount multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) is offered in 11 case sizes from 0402 to 3640, features high voltage ranges from 6.3VDC to 3kVDC, and offers a wide capacitance range of 0.5pF to 56nF (with C0G dielectric) and 100pF to 6.8μF (with X7R/X5R dielectric).

The devices feature a wet build process and a reliable Noble Metal Electrode (NME) system. They can be assembled in an SMT process using conductive epoxy bonding or IR reflow, and are proven to have less interference than standard capacitors, which contain magnetic materials. The devices will typically be used in filter circuits for MRI equipment, implantable medical devices, ferromagnetic-sensitive instrumentation, electronic test systems, and high-end audio amplifiers.

The capacitors provide a temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) of ±30ppm/°C from -55°C to 125°C (C0G), ±15 percent from - 55°C to 85°C (X5R), and ±15 percent from -55°C to 125°C (X7R). The devices are RoHS compliant and halogen-free.
