TDK Corporation announced two new series of leaded MLCCs, which are halogen-free according to IEC 61249-2-21 (chlorine and bromine content is a maximum of 900 ppm each or a maximum of 1500 ppm total) and expand the company’s lineup of products that offer minimal impact to the environment over the entire life cycle. The new components will be available in two specifications: the commercial-grade FG series and the automotive-grade FA series. Unlike conventional products, the new series do not use halogen as a flame retardant in the external resin coating, thus supporting the design of environmentally friendly applications. Mass production will be launched in April 2015.

The commercial-grade FG series covers a wide rated voltage range of 6.3 V to 630 V, and a capacitance range of 1 pF to 100 μF, while the automotive-grade FA series is available with rated voltages from 25 V to 630 V and rated capacitance values from 100 pF to 22 μF. The lineup of the FA series features MLCCs with NP0 and X8R temperature characteristics, which are designed for high-temperature environments of up to +150 degrees C. In addition, this series is qualified to AEC-Q200.
