Vishay extended its VJ X8R series of surface-mount multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) for high-temperature applications on June 27. To save board space, the devices are now offered in the 0402 case size. In addition, the 0603 and 0805 case sizes have been enhanced with higher voltages of 100 V. The Vishay Vitramon capacitors released today are manufactured in Noble Metal Electrode Technology (NME) with a wet build process. With their X8R dielectric and high operating temperature to +150 °C, typical applications for the devices will include sensors, p...
