AVX Corporation has expanded its extensive family of multilayer ceramic chips (MLCCs) to include gold plated terminations. Designated the Au Series, the RoHS compliant MLCC eliminates the use of tin and lead and subsequent tin whiskering events on the PCB. Available for most standard MLCC values, AVX offers a range of gold thicknesses for flash terminations (soldering applications).
“Whisker growth is caused by deposit stress, such as heat, to pure tin plated components. The gold plated termination series from AVX eliminates a printed circuit board’s susceptibility to tin whiskering, which can significantly affect the performance and reliability of a system,” said Tim Piver, product manager at AVX.
This series further strengthens AVX’s commitment to alternate terminations. Other alternate terminations offered are SnPb, PdAg, Flexiterm, and Flexisafe.
