What is an MLCC capacitor?

The MLCC (Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor) is one of the most widely used passive components in the electronics industry. Its structure stacks ceramic layers with internal Ag or AgPd electrodes, sintered at high temperature to form a monolithic chip. The result: a compact, reliable component suited for surface mounting (SMD), with high volumetric capacitance and a long service life.

It is found in computers, phones, telecommunications equipment, precision measuring instruments, radar systems, and many military and industrial devices.

The concrete advantages of the UF CAPACITOR’s MLCC range

• Wide choice of dielectrics — C0G/NP0 for high-frequency oscillating circuits, X7R and X5R for filtering and decoupling, Y5V and Z5U for general high-capacitance applications.
• Complete SMD formats — from 0201 to 1812, in T&R (tape & reel), RoHS compliant.
• High-voltage MLCCs — available up to 4 kV (e.g. 1812 package).
• RF / microwave MLCCs (High Q) — high reliability, low ESR, high Q factor, for base stations, radars and military systems.
• Military qualifications — MLCCs and tantalum capacitors produced with military qualifications.
• On-site UL laboratory — in-house quality control with a UL-recognized test laboratory directly within the factory.

A serious alternative to major brands

UF Capacitors positions itself as a direct alternative to TDK, Murata, AVX, EPCOS, Vishay and Panasonic, with equivalent quality and competitive lead times. The company counts among its references leading industrial groups: GE, Philips, Jabil and Flex.
