The NTS series is a new multilayer ceramic chip capacitor series that offers high CV X5R and X7R
dielectrics in environmentally friendly lead-free volumetric efficient packaging. The technologically
advanced design of the NTS series capacitors now leads the field in CV ration per chip size and
provides excellent electrical characteristics for applications such as noise suppressors for various
types of equipment, smoothing circuits in DC-DC converters, voltage regulators for computers,
switching power supplies, high reliability equipment or other small sized, high power requirements.
The NTS chips have large capacitance, high rated ripple current capability, a wide temperature range
and long life. Standard packaging is tape and reel.
