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)

*Note: Terminations with 5% minimum lead (Pb) is available, see pages 100 and 101 for LD style.
Leaded terminations are available, see pages 102-106.
Notes: 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.
**The 3640 Style is not available on 7” Reels.
