AVX Corporation has expanded the HQ series of multi-level cell surface mount RF power capacitors to include P90 dielectric versions for medical and industrial electronics applications. The capacitor with dielectric material is currently available in C case sizes. The power capacitors are designed for 300 to 7,200V applications and feature a dielectric strength of 120% of rated working voltage direct current. The devices can handle the high power and high voltage levels of RF power amplifiers, inductive heating, high magnetic field environments (MRI coils), and medical & industrial electronics.
The company claims that the capacitors provide medical and industrial electronics experts with high power and high voltage characteristics necessary for optimal performance. The capacitors feature capacitance values from 2,700 pF down to 1 pF. They feature a temperature coefficient of 0±30ppm/ºC or 90 ± 30ppm/ ºC and operate from -55 to +125ºC.
