AVX offers surface-mount RF capacitors with P90 dielectric for high-voltage applications

AVX

HQ series MLC with P90 dielectric material

AVX has expanded its HQ series MLC surface-mount RF power capacitors to include P90 dielectric versions, which are suitable for high-power, high-frequency applications, such as medical and industrial electronics.

Featuring an ultra-low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and dissipation factor at high frequencies, the HQ series power capacitors are also able to handle the high power and high voltage levels of RF power amplifiers, inductive heating and high magnetic field environments (MRI coils).

The HQ Series capacitor with P90 dielectric is currently available in C case sizes, with E case sizes available in the third quarter.

For long-term reliability, the HQ capacitor range is also designed to run cooler at high RF current levels.
