AVX is Presenting & Exhibiting at APEC 2018
20 February 2018 - 1:30AM
AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer and supplier of advanced
electronic components and interconnect, sensor, control, and
antenna solutions, is presenting and exhibiting at the 2018 Applied
Power Electronics Conference (APEC), which will take place at the
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, March
4–8.
AVX Fellow, Ron Demcko, and Supercapacitor Product Marketing
Engineer, Eric DeRose, will present “Case Study: Small Size Stack
Capacitors Replace Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors in SMPS” in the
Capacitors for Emerging Power Conversion Applications Industry
Session (IS03) at approximately 11:25am on Tuesday, March 6, in
Room 205.
Demcko and DeRose will also join several colleagues at the APEC
Exposition, March 5–7 at Booth #1325, to promote AVX’s vast
portfolio of high-reliability, harsh-environment, medium- and
high-power component solutions, including: advanced ceramic,
tantalum, and power film capacitors and supercapacitors.
Products on display will include:
- AVX’s compact, lightweight, and space-qualified ESCC QPL 3009
PME Series X7R SMT MLCCs, which were recently extended with new
200V MLCCs in 0805–2220 case sizes. Currently available with
capacitance values spanning 330pF – 330nF, the new 200V MLCCs
deliver significant performance improvements over 200V MIL-PRF
stacked ceramic capacitors and 100V MIL-PRF surface-mount products
in 100V circuits when space derating rules are applied, providing
engineers with effective, high-reliability solutions ideal for use
in challenging space and military applications, including: space
launchers, satellite communications, and the input/output filtering
lines of space power supplies. The series now offers
high-reliability performance in voltage ratings spanning 25–200V,
capacitance values spanning 4.7pF to 2.2µF, and 0805–2220 cases
with ESA Variant 03, 06, and 07 terminations, depending on the
dielectric.
- SCC Series supercapacitors and SCM Series supercapacitor
modules, which combine very high capacitance with very low ESR and
long-lifetime performance of 50,000+ cycles to achieve excellent
pulse power-handling characteristics. Both series provide extended
back-up times, longer battery life, and instantaneous as-needed
power pulses, and can be used alone or in conjunction with primary
or secondary batteries in the hold-up, energy harvesting, and pulse
power circuits of applications including: uninterrupted power
supplies, camera flash systems, wireless alarms, remote metering
equipment, GSM and GSR transmission systems, scanners, toys, and
games. The SCC Series is rated for 2.7V and delivers high
capacitance values (1–3,000F), low ESR (0.16–200mΩ at 1,000KHz),
low leakage (6–5,800µA), and high energy density (1.2–5.6Wh/kg) in
a wide range of case sizes with radial, solder pin, or cylindrical
leads. The SCM Series is currently available in two voltage ratings
(5V and 5.4V) with high capacitance values (0.47–7.5F ±20%
tolerance), low ESR (4–300mΩ at 1,000KHz), low leakage (2–1,000µA),
and high energy density (1–5.6Wh/kg), and plastic or shrink-wrapped
cases with vertical or horizontal radial leads.
- TRM Professional Series multianode, ultralow-ESR tantalum
capacitors, which were recently extended with several new ratings
in new “U” case sizes (EIA Metric 7361-43) to address the demands
of an ever-expanding scope of high-reliability, harsh-environment
power filtering and storage applications in the automotive,
military, medical, aerospace, and industrial markets. Now available
in “U” case, “E” case (EIA Metric 7343-43), and “D” case (EIA
Metric 7343-31) sizes, these volumetrically efficient,
surface-mount, J-lead capacitors meet AEC-Q200 requirements, offer
a wide range of capacitance values and voltage ratings spanning
4.7–1,500µF and 2.5–50V, and achieve twice the reliability of TPM
Commercial Series tantalum capacitors, which also feature the new
“U” case size. The TRM Series has a base failure rate of 0.5% per
1,000 hours at 85ºC and rated voltage (VR) with 0.1Ω/V series
impedance, in addition to a 25% lower DCL limit (0.0075CV), high
volumetric efficiency, and ultralow ESR values as low as 18mΩ at
100kHz. It also exhibits stable electrical performance, high
resistance to the thermomechanical stresses associated with PCB
assembly processes, and long-lifetime operation, and “D” case
variants feature a mirrored construction that consists of two
parallel anodes attached to both sides of the lead-frame, which
both reduces ESR values by half and results in lower ESL.
- FHC1 and FHC2 Series power film capacitors, which smooth and
filter current and voltage variations and prevent ripple currents
from reaching power sources to protect high-power-density inverters
in automotive, industrial, medical, mil/aero, consumer,
communications, and alternative energy applications. Ideal for use
in conjunction with EV/HEV IGBT modules, in the DC-link circuits
between EV/HEV rectifiers and inverters, and in medium-sized motor
drives, the series exhibit high ripple current capabilities,
extremely high dielectric strength in operating conditions up to
115°C, low inductance, low ESR, and a low thermal footprint. Based
on several elementary wound bobbins with reinforced solder points
on specific bus bar offerings, the series also feature high rms
current and repartition capabilities, reduced thermal expansion
constraints, high productivity, internal design flexibility,
modularity in three dimensions, and controlled self-healing
capabilities that ensure soft end-of-life performance with a
gradual loss of capacitance, rather than a catastrophic failure
mode. The FHC1 Series offers standard capacitance values and
voltage ratings spanning 140–300μF and 450–900VDC, while the FHC2
Series offers standard capacitance values and voltage ratings
spanning 260–900μF and 410–900VDC. Custom values spanning 100–1.5mF
and 300–1400VDC are available upon request.
“APEC has a long tradition of addressing issues of both
immediate and long-term interest to power electronics engineers and
is widely recognized as the premier annual event in applied power
electronics, so we’re very pleased to be a part of this year’s
conference and exposition and to introduce attendees to our most
recent contributions to the continual development of the rapidly
evolving power electronics industry,” said Demcko.
