Article Summaries:
- Kyocera AVX has broadened its 550/560 Series ultra‑broadband multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) to meet growing demand for high‑speed optical communication systems. The update adds 0402 case sizes and four new part numbers (1, 10, 22, 47 nF), raising the maximum working voltage from 16 V to 100 V while maintaining a frequency range of 7 kHz to 110 GHz. The capacitors, available in 01005, 0201, and 0402 sizes, are RoHS‑compliant and offered with tin‑ or gold‑plated nickel terminations for reflow soldering. They target applications such as RF/microwave front‑ends, 5G, satellite links, and industrial sensing. The new parts will be stocked in November.
