MURRIETA, Calif., 10 May 2009. Holystone International in Murrieta, Calif., is introducing the SMC and HSC series of multilayer ceramic chip capacitors for power supply, DC-DC converter, industrial control, surge and snubber, as well as filtering, smoothing and decoupling applications.

The HSC series has temperature ratings of 150, 200, and 250 degrees Celsius for switch-mode power supply filters in jet engine, engine control, and oil logging applications.

The stacked design of the SMC and HSC series offers high capacitance, and low ESR. The Holystone SMC and HSC series come in EIA size codes 1812, 2220, 1825, and 2225; all with lead frame stand-offs to prevent mechanical and thermal stress.

Both series are available in J, L, and N leaded configurations for through-hole or surface-mount use. Capacitance ranges are from 470 nf to 35 µf in the 125 C rating, with rated voltages ranging from 25 to 1000 volts. 150 C and higher temperatures will have slightly lower nominal capacitance ratings. All are available with HIREL screening. The entire series is RoHS compliant.
