The 20 new KAM Sequence capacitors ship excessive capacitance values in compact, light-weight, surface-mount packages optimized for EV, ADAS, and ADS functions and are designed, manufactured, and examined to fulfill the prime quality and reliability requirements of the automotive business.
KYOCERA AVX, a number one international producer of superior digital elements engineered to speed up technological innovation and construct a greater future, has expanded its line of KAM Sequence automotive MLCCs with the addition of 20 new elements.
Manufactured utilizing miniaturization and high-capacity atomization applied sciences developed for smartphones and supplies confirmed to take care of high-reliability efficiency in automotive environments, KAM Sequence automotive MLCCs can be found in an intensive vary of case sizes, capacitance values, and voltage scores optimized to be used in small, densely packed automotive circuits with quick processing speeds. These compact and light-weight surface-mount elements decrease board house necessities and ship capacitance values excessive sufficient to scale back capacitor element counts, each of that are important to serving to automotive engineers overcome a few of the many challenges posed by evolving electrical automobile (EV), superior driver help system (ADAS) and automatic driving system (ADS) designs.
KAM Sequence automotive MLCCs are designed, manufactured, and examined to make sure that they meet the prime quality and reliability requirements of automotive business functions. They’re compliant with the AEC-Q200 Stress Take a look at Qualification for Passive Parts commonplace, manufactured in IATF, QS9000, and VDA 6.4-approved amenities, and constantly examined in high quality assurance (QA) laboratories to make sure superior high quality and efficiency. QA strategies embody 100% visible inspection, elevated sampling for accelerated wave soldering, and lot-by-lot reliability testing. All KAM Sequence automotive MLCCs are additionally RoHS compliant and designed to be operated beneath the rated voltage.
The newest enlargement of the KAM Sequence automotive MLCCs consists of 20 new elements. The new releases can be found in 4 case sizes (0201, 0402, 0603, and 0805) with thicknesses extending from 0.33mm to 1.45mm, nickel/tin terminations, two dielectrics (X7R and X7T), 4 voltage scores (4, 6.3, 10, and 16V), capacitance values extending from 0.1–22µF (±10%), and seven” reels loaded with paper or embossed plastic tape.
Perfect functions for the new KAM Sequence automotive MLCCs embody electrical automobile (EV), automated driver help system (ADAS), and automatic driving system (ADS) engine management models (ECUs), powertrains, central gateway (CGW) communication nodes, cluster heads-up shows (HUDs), door management models (DCUs), cameras, radar, LiDAR, reminiscence, CPU/MPU decoupling, and different low-voltage security programs with house constraints and excessive capacitance calls for. They’re additionally properly fitted to use in high-reliability functions outdoors of the automotive business.
With this newest extension, the KAM Sequence automotive MLCCs is now obtainable with 9 case sizes (0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210, 1808, 1812, and 2220), two termination kinds (nickel/tin and FLEXITERM), six dielectrics (C0G/NP0, X7R, X7T, X8R, X8L, and X8G), 16 voltages extending from 4V to three,000V, capacitance values extending from 0.5pF to 22µF, eight capacitance tolerances spanning ±0.1pF to ±20%, and seven” and 13” reels loaded with paper or embossed plastic tape. As such, KAM Sequence MLCCs are additionally properly fitted to use in hybrid automotive battery management, inverter, converter, motor management, and water pump functions; on-engine automotive functions; hybrid electrical industrial functions, together with emergency circuits, sensors, and temperature regulation gadgets; oil exploration functions; and different functions with a 150°C working requirement.
“KYOCERA AVX has been a trusted provider of automotive MLCCs for a number of a long time and could be very proud to introduce the new small-case-size, high-capacitance-value, wide-voltage-range, and AEC-Q200-qualified KAM Sequence automotive MLCCs to market,” mentioned Kensuke Ikeda, Senior Supervisor – MLCC Growth, KYOCERA Company. “The variety of MLCCs mounted in circuits associated to EV, ADAS, and autonomous driving programs is steadily growing, accelerating market demand for miniature elements, and the voltage scores of the ICs employed in these programs is lowering, driving new demand for low-voltage MLCCs. Our evolving line of KAM Sequence capacitors fulfill these market calls for. For instance, when 5VDC is utilized to our 0805 X7R dielectric MLCC rated for 10V and 10µF, it maintains 86.3% of its capacitance resulting from wonderful DC bias traits. As well as, KAM Sequence MLCCs are precision engineered, manufactured, and examined to supply optimum options for EV, AD, and ADAS circuits and can proceed to fulfill evolving automotive market calls for with future sequence extensions.”
