AVX Corporation has introduced its FFVS range of medium power capacitors which feature very high frequency operation and the lowest stray inductance of any product on the market. Suitable for applications such as very high frequency ripple (>100kHz) DC filtering for induction heating, the devices exhibit an inductance of less than 10nH on certain models.

600V capacitors are offered in capacitance values of 22, 90, 140 and 195µF. 800V devices are rated at 58, 92 and 128µF, and 900V models at 34, 40, 65 and 90µF. Featuring a dry polypropylene dielectric technology, FFVS capacitors are very reliable with an extended life.

Comments Gilles Terzuli, AVX’s Power Film Marketing Manager: “Our new FFVS series capacitors are suitable for situations where standard devices are not able to handle the high frequency ripple currents experienced. Typical applications include medical power supplies used in X-Ray and MRI equipment.“
