RF chip capacitors target automotive applcaitions

AVX has introduced a new series of AEC-Q200-qualified rf chip capacitors for automotive applications.

Available in 0402 and 0603 case sizes, the C0G (NP0) dielectric automotive 'U' series is said to offer ultra low ESR, high Q and lot-to-lot uniformity. Lead-free and RoHS compliant, the capacitors are suitable for use in automotive WiFi, collision avoidance, vehicle communications and traffic alert system applications. They are rated for use over a temperature range of -55 to 125°C and feature lead free, plated Ni/Sn terminations.
