Overview of Walsin Capacitor Arrays Series Datasheet

This datasheet provides detailed information on Walsin Technology Corporation’s Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) Arrays Series, covering products with voltage ratings from 16V to 50V and sizes of 4 x 0402 and 4 x 0603. The arrays feature NPO, XZR, and YSV dielectrics and are RoHS compliant. Notably, the contents of the datasheet are subject to change without notice.

Introduction

The introduction section outlines the advantages of the WTC MLCC arrays, which utilize a unique internal electrode pattern. This innovative design minimizes voltage concentrations and disperses voltage gradients, leading to higher capacitance values within a given case size and voltage rating. Additionally, the capacitor arrays seek to reduce placement costs and enhance assembly efficiency by decreasing the number of components required per circuit board.

Features

Some key features that benefit users include high-density mounting, enabling space conservation, cost savings on mounting, and improved throughput. These characteristics distinctly illustrate the arrays’ operational advantage in electronic circuit design.

Applications

MLCC arrays find their use across a broad spectrum of electronic applications. They are particularly suited as bypass capacitors for noise reduction in digital and analog signal lines. Typical applications encompass computer motherboards, peripheral devices, and other generic electronic circuits requiring reliable noise suppression.

How to Order

Walsin provides a convenient ordering guide, showcasing the coding system used to specify the series, dielectric type, capacitance, tolerance, rated voltage, termination, and packaging options to tailor orders to specific requirements. For instance, the designation ‘4C’ identifies a 4-capacitor array, ‘2B’ defines a 0.02″ pitch termination array, with further code breakdowns for dielectric (N-NPO, B-XZR, F-YSV), capacitance (e.g., 103 equals 10,000pF or 10nF), tolerance (J, K, M, Z), rated voltage (e.g., 160 indicates 16VDC), and termination material (C-CuNi/Sn), including the reeled packaging option denoted by ‘T’.
