MLCCs offer the industry's highest capacitance for commercial applications

TDK Corporation has expanded its C series for commercial MLCCs to 1µF at 100V in the 1608 size (1.6mm x 0.8mm x 0.8mm – L x W x H), with X7R characteristics. This is the industry's highest capacitance for a 100V-rated product in this size and this temperature characteristic.

In recent years, 48V systems have become increasingly common for AI servers, energy storage systems, and a wide range of industrial equipment, improving system efficiency and reducing power loss. This has led to a growing demand for 100V-rated MLCCs used as capacitors on power lines.

This new 100V product of the C series reaches ten times the capacity of conventional products of the same size, thanks to optimised material selection and product design. Therefore, it enables the reduction of the number of MLCCs used and the mounting area, contributing to a decrease in component counts and the miniaturisation of sets.

Main applications include input capacitors for power supply ICs used in commercial and industrial 48V systems, etc.
