Low Inductance Capacitors (RoHS) 0612/0508/0306 LICC (Low Inductance Chip Capacitors) GENERAL DESCRIPTION The key physical characteristic determining equivalent series inductance (ESL) of a capacitor is the size of the current loop it creates. The smaller the current loop, the lower the ESL. A standard surface mount MLCC is rectangular in shape with electrical terminations on its shorter sides. A Low Inductance Chip Capacitor (LICC) sometimes referred to as Reverse Geometry Capacitor (RGC) has its terminations on the longer sides of its rectangular shape. The image on the right shows the termination differences between an MLCC and an LICC. LICC MLCC When the distance between terminations is reduced, the size of the current loop is reduced. Since the size of the current loop is the primary driver of inductance, an 0306 with a smaller current loop has significantly lower ESL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS then an 0603. The reduction in ESL varies by EIA size, Capacitance Tolerances K = 10% M = 20% however, ESL is typically reduced 60% or more with an Operation X7R = -55C to +125C LICC versus a standard MLCC. Temperature Range X5R = -55C to +85C AVX LICC products are available with a lead-free finish of X7S = -55C to +125C plated Nickel/Tin. Temperature Coefficient X7R, X5R = 15% X7S = 22% Voltage Ratings 4, 6.3, 10, 16, 25 VDC Dissipation Factor 4V, 6.3V = 6.5% max 10V = 5.0% max 16V = 3.5% max 25V = 3.0% max Insulation Resistance 100,000M min, or 1,000M per ( +25C, RVDC) F min.,whichever is less HOW TO ORDER 0612 Z D 105 M A T 2 A* Size Voltage Dielectric Capacitance Capacitance Failure Rate Terminations Packaging Thickness Code (In pF) Tolerance 0306 4 = 4V C = X7R A = N/A T = Plated Ni Available Thickness 2 Sig.
