UltraThin Ceramic Capacitors
UT Series
The Ultrathin (UT) series of ceramic capacitors is a new product offering from AVX. The UT
series was designed to meet the stringent thickness requirements of our customers. AVX
developed a new termination process (FCT - Fine Copper Termination) that provides
unbeatable flatness and repeatability. The series includes products < 0.35mm in height
and is targeted for applications such as Smart cards, Memory modules, High Density SIM
cards, Mobile phones, MP3 players, and embedded solutions.
