High Voltage MLC Chips
For 600V to 5000V Applications
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 temperature 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.
For 1825, 2225 and 3640 sizes, AVX offers leaded version in either thru-hole or SMT configurations (for details
see section on high voltage leaded MLC chips)

Notes:
1. Capacitors with X7R dielectrics are not intended for applications across AC supply mains or AC line filtering with polarity reversal. Contact plant for recommendations. Contact
factory for availability of Termination and Tolerance options for Specific Part Numbers.
2. *Terminations with 5% minimum lead (Pb) is available, see pages 100 and 101 for LD style.
Leaded terminations are available, see pages 102-106.
**The 3640 Style is not available on 7” Reels.
*** AVX offers nonstandard chip sizes. Contact factory for details.
