AVX Corporation presents the TurboCap MLC Series, small, stackable multilayer capacitors (MLCs) that increase space on printed circuit boards (PCBs). TurboCap is reported to handle high ripple current at high frequencies and power levels.
 
The series is compatible for filters in the input and output stages of DC-DC converts, as well as switch mode power supplies (SMPS). Stress relief to ceramic elements is provided by DIP leads in thru-hole or surface mount configurations. By decoupling the parts from the board, the leads can minimize thermally or mechanically induced stresses occurring during assembly and temperature cycling.
 
The TurboCap has a maximum voltage rating of 100 volts. It is available in two types: ST12 and ST20, and in a standard or high-reliability version. Featuring a X7R dielectric formulation, it has a temperature coefficient of –55° C to 125° C.
