High value, low leakage and small size are difficult parameters to obtain
in capacitors for high voltage systems. AVX special high voltage MLC
chip capacitors meet these performance characteristics and are
designed for applications such as snubbers in high frequency power
converters, resonators in SMPS, and high voltage coupling/dc blocking.
These high voltage chip designs exhibit low ESRs at high frequencies.
Larger physical sizes than normally encountered chips are used to make
high voltage MLC chip products. Special precautions must be taken in
applying these chips in surface mount assemblies. The temperature
gradient during heating or cooling cycles should not exceed 4ºC per
second. The preheat temperature must be within 50ºC of the peak tem-
perature reached by the ceramic bodies through the soldering process.
Chip sizes 1210 and larger should be reflow soldered only. Capacitors
may require protective surface coating to prevent external arcing.

High Voltage MLC Chips
Tin/Lead Termination “B”
For 600V to 5000V Application
AVX Corporation will support those customers for commercial and mili-
tary Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors with a termination consisting of 5%
minimum lead. This termination is indicated by the use of a “B” in the
12th position of the AVX Catalog Part Number. This fulfills AVX’s
commitment to providing a full range of products to our customers. AVX
has provided in the following pages, a full range of values that we are
offering in this “B” termination.
Larger physical sizes than normally encountered chips are used to make
high voltage MLC chip product. Special precautions must be taken in
applying these chips in surface mount assemblies. The temperature
gradient during heating or cooling cycles should not exceed 4ºC per
second. The preheat temperature must be within 50ºC of the peak tem-
perature reached by the ceramic bodies through the soldering process.
Chip sizes 1210 and larger should be reflow soldered only. Capacitors
may require protective surface coating to prevent external arcing.
