FCT Capacitors For Embedded Applications

AVX has expanded its multilayer ceramic capacitor family with the addition of low-profile, fine copper termination (FCT) versions ideal for smart cards, memory modules and embedded solutions. Designated the UT series, the utilisation of FCTs is said to ensure repeatable and flat performance. Available in the 0402 case size, the UT series is available in heights as low as 0.15mm (0.006in) and voltage ranges from 6V to 25V.

The 0.15mm-high Cu parts are said to be ideal for the increasing demand in embedded applications. The UT series is ideal for smart cards, memory modules, high-density SIM cards, mobile phones, MP3 players, and embedded solutions, and is available in X5R dielectric for decoupling and filtering applications where height is limited. The UT series complements the existing LT series, which includes sizes from 0201 to 1210 and thicknesses as low as 0.22mm (0.009in) in the 0201 size.

The addition of the UT series of multilayer ceramic capacitors allows customers to choose between a variety of terminations including tin/lead, tin, gold or copper, depending on application requirements.
