MLCC capacitors can be used in harsh environments
Holystone
Holy Stone's 'Verti-Zontal' MLCC capacitors
Now available, Holy Stone's compact 'Verti-Zontal' (vertically oriented, horizontally stacked) MLCC capacitors are designed for applications with limited headroom, requiring a high-CV product.
This SVZ Series orients individual capacitors vertically, limiting the overall height while the stack itself extends horizontally across the mounting area on the board.
The low ESR design allows for very high CV in the available footprint space.
The compact yet high-CV design of these Verti-Zontal stacks is suitable for power applications including input and output filters.
Its lead frame construction isolates the MLCC from both thermal and mechanical stresses, which can be problematic with large capacitors.
The Holy Stone design provides outstanding mechanical integrity as the design provides for individual leads to be centred on each cap insert.
The low centre of gravity provides superior shock and vibration resistance, so they can be used in harsh environments.
The SVZ series is also available using Holy Stone's high-temperature dielectric in temperature ratings up to 200C, in which case it is called the HVZ series.
