Multi-Cap Arrays
GENERAL INFORMATION
AVX Multi-Cap Arrays are available with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6
capacitors on one single layer capacitor substrate. Dual-
Caps are available in NP0, X7R, X7S (Z), Maxi and
Maxi+ dielectrics. Multi-Caps are available in dielectrics
Z, Maxi and Maxi+.
These arrays have advantages over single components
in the form of smaller overall size, reduced handling and
lower average unit costs. They are, therefore, a good
choice for broad-band bypass applications where circuit
board layouts can utilize these configurations.
The designs, shown along with the range of maximum
capacitance values, represent typical parts. Since most
applications require specific form factors, custom designs
on all multi-cap arrays are available to meet individual
customer requirements and are offered with quick turn
around. No charge samples are generally shipped within
two weeks of the design sign-off.
Both standard and custom designs are available with
borders for those applications where conductive epoxy
run up exposes the parts to the possibility of shorting.
Maximum capacitance per pad for bordered devices
will be necessarily somewhat lower than shown on the
adjacent page.
2 and 3 cap arrays can be designed with different
capacitance values per pad in circuit designs where
identical values pad-to-pad are, for one reason or another,
not altogether suitable.
Additionally, the dual-caps are available to match micro
strip widths as dictated by circuit considerations. When
mounted with the individual pads down, the need for
wire bonding is eliminated. The maximum capacitance
values indicated on the typical designs shown represent
capacitance per pad. Mounted with both pads down puts
two capacitors in series. The effective series capacitance
(CEff), can be determined by 1/CEff = 1/C1 + 1/C2.
