Capacitors for SMT Board Level Power Applications
Cornell Dubilier Electronics is the leading supplier of capacitors for power electronic
applications, including our SMT offering for board level power requirements. Whether
your application is for power conversion, telecommunications, computers, security/alarm
equipment or others, with our extensive product line of aluminum electrolytic, solid
polymer, film chip and mica chip capacitors, we have the right capacitor choice for your
application.

SPCX and SPSX Solid Polymer Capacitors
Our solid polymer SPCX and SPSX SMT capacitors are an ideal choice for high ripple current filtering when
board space is at a premium. With a low profile of 1.9mm, these capacitors pack a lot in a small package.
Both the SPCX and SPSX series are ideal choices for DC/DC converters, computers, measuring equipment
and industrial robots. One of our polymer chip capacitors can be used to replace two or more tantalum
capacitors. If you need lower ESR and a higher ripple current, our SPSX is the series for you.

MC and MCN Multilayer RF Mica
Capacitors

FCP Surface Mount Film
Capacitors

High Current Power
We offer SMT film capacitors in all
standard case sizes in tape and
Film Capacitors
reel. The FCP series offers high
capacitance density and its excellent
high frequency response makes
it a great choice for wireless and
instrumentation applications.

Types MC and MCN are ideal for RF
applications when other multilayer
capacitors aren’t recommended because
of cracking. Replace two or more ceramic
or porcelain capacitors with one RF mica
chip capacitor.

SMT Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
Our SMT aluminum electrolytic capacitors can handle all your application needs. For general purpose,
our AVE and AVS series offer a great value for filter and bypass applications at 85 ºC. Type AFK offers
low impedance performance at a significant cost savings compared to tantalum options. If you have a
high voltage application, our type AEB is for you. Offering low impedance in ratings up to 450 Vdc and
long life, it is an excellent choice for power supply input and other high voltage applications. Our AVEZ
capacitors are rated for 1000 hours at 105 ºC with low impedance characteristics. They are ideal for high
density PC board packaging.
