AVX Corporation, Fountain Inn, SC, has released a new series of thin film chip capacitors specifically designed to meet performance specifications for implantable medical devices. Delivering extremely tight capacitive tolerances, exceptionally repeatable performance, and low ESR and high Q at high frequencies, including VHF, UHF, and RF bands, AVX’s new Accu-P® MP Series capacitors also exhibit high stability with respect to temperature, time, frequency, and voltage variation.

The capacitors are subjected to accelerated life, damp, and heat testing and final quality inspections for capacitance, as well as proof voltage, IR and breakdown voltage distribution, temperature coefficient, solderability, and dimensional, mechanical, and temperature stability. They are ideal for use in medical RF signal and power applications that require extremely high accuracy, such as embedded medical systems and implantable devices.

Designed for soldering onto flexible or alumina circuit boards, the Accu-P MP Series can withstand the time and temperature profiles used in both wave and reflow soldering methods. They are currently available in three standard case sizes, five rated voltages (10V, 16V, 25V, 50V, and 100V), two dielectric temperature coefficients.
