Working with OX3 fully integrated into your production planning cycle, challenges don’t have to slow your operations down. From stock room to assembly line, OX3 helps ensure every component arrives properly packaged, on time, and ready for production.
Since the early 1990's under contracts with AVX Olean Advanced Products, OX3 has been taping & reeling Switch Mode Power Supply capacitors (SMPS) - specifically Stacked Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC). These were introduced by KYOCERA AVX Components Corporation in the 1980's.
These capacitors are the closest to the ideal electrical energy storage devices due to high CV product and extremely low ESR and ESL. KYOCERA AVX is the original inventor of the SM-style large capacitance value, stacked MLCC capacitors constructed with DIP leads. Thanks to considerably higher relative dielectric constant of N1500 dielectric, the CV product is more than doubled in comparison to ultra-stable COG dielectric, resulting in a significant reduction in the size of capacitor and a significant improvement of volumetric efficiency. Since the tolerancing on these solder-heavy units can be quite large and variable, physical measurement by batch was indicated for successful placement into tape & reel packaging.
