MLCC Family Adds Gold Plated Terminations

Tailored for military and aerospace apps, the Au Series multilayer ceramic chips (MLCCs) expands to include gold plated terminations. The RoHS-compliant MLCCs eliminate the use of tin and lead and subsequent tin wiskering events on the PCB. Available for most standard MLCC values, a range of gold thicknesses for flash terminations are available from 1.9 μin. to 7.87 μin. while the gold standard termination thicknesses start at 100 μin. minimum. Other available terminations include SnPb, PdAg, Flexiterm, and Flexisafe. Typical pricing starts at $0.85 each. AVX CORP. Myrtle Beach, SC. (843) 448-9411.
