Samsung develops world’s first ultra-small high-capacity MLCC for IT
Samsung Electro-Mechanics has just announced the world’s first ultra-small, high-capacity MLCC (multilayer ceramic capacitor) designed for a wide variety of IT applications. This new MLCC is different from the one that was introduced by the company at the beginning of the year, thought they’re both fit for 5G smartphones and other product categories such as home appliances and electric vehicles.
Compared to the previous 1209-size MLCC though, Samsung’s latest solution measures only 0.4 x 0.2mm, which means it’s several times smaller. The company claims that the new MLCC was developed as demand for ultra-small solutions grew with the emergence of 5G smartphones and more advanced multi-camera systems. Up until now, 0402-size capacitors were limited by their 4V voltage, however, Samsung’s latest solution is rated at 6.3V.
