AVX X7R Dielectric capacitors are called temperature stable" ceramics and fall into EIA Class II materials. The dielectric chip usage covers a broad range of industrial applications where known changes in capacitance due to applied voltages are acceptable. The AVX Standard Commercial-Grade MLCCs are available in case sizes 0402, 0805, and 0603. Voltage Range: 4 V to 500 V. Capacitance Range: 100 pF to 22 μF.

Automotive MLC capacitors cover a wide range of case sizes, capacitance values, and working voltages. These products are not suitable for automotive industry only, but for all improved reliability applications as well. Capacitors are continuously tested in QA (Quality Assurance) laboratories. Results of these tests enable to maintain superior quality. All AVX manufacturing facilities are QS9000 and VDA 6.4 approved. Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) have been developed, manufactured and specially tested for applications in Automotive industry. All components comply with AEC-Q200 standard – Stress Test Qualification for Passive Components. Detailed qualification package is available on reques

C0G (NP0) is the most popular formulation of the "temperature-compensating", EIA Class I ceramic materials
X7R formulations are called "temperature stable" ceramics and fall into EIA Class II materials
Y5V formulations are for general-purpose use in a limited temperature range.These characteristics make Y5V ideal for decoupling applications
