Ceramic Capacitors

Knowles’ expanded X1/Y2 safety-certified MLCC portfolio enables more compact, high-voltage power electronics with enhanced safety, reliability, and EMI suppression.

To help PCBs and other physically connected components survive vibration, board bending, thermal mismatching, and stress during thermal cycling, Knowles has launched a range of leaded standoff components, Metal Frame J-Lead Terminal MLCCs, that are qualified to AEC-Q200.

The electrical power systems in most modern technologies, like electric vehicles (EVs), are complex. In EVs specifically, power systems are responsible for performing many tasks such as converting AC to DC and DC to AC as well as managing changing power levels in DC/DC conversion.

When considering capacitor selection for a given circuit, whether you’re focused on power electronics or deep in the world of RF, it's important to remember that some of a capacitor’s fundamental roles are universal.

Radio frequency (RF) and microwave applications involve the transmission and receipt of high-frequency electromagnetic signals.

With a maximum capacitance of 44nF/1kV and 66nF/630V in a compact chip size of 1210, the extended series is well suited to support LLC type DC/DC converters in demanding environments.
