[Taiyo Yuden New Product] Commercialization of high-voltage multilayer ceramic capacitors with a rated voltage of 2000V.

Taiyo Yuden has commercialized a high-voltage multilayer ceramic capacitor, the "XMK432 B7472KY" (4.5x3.2x2.0mm, X7R), with a rated voltage of 2000V. This product is used for lightning surge protection (Note 1) in base station communication devices and wireless LAN access point input/output sections, as well as for noise suppression applications in DC-DC converters for industrial equipment. For lightning surge protection, a high-voltage multilayer ceramic capacitor that can withstand high surge voltages caused by lightning strikes is required. Therefore, Taiyo Yuden optimized the materials and internal structure of the multilayer ceramic capacitor to achieve the rated voltage of 2000V with the "XMK432 B7472KY."
■Terminology Explanation
(Note 1) Lightning Surge
- A momentary high voltage caused by lightning strikes. Many electronic devices have connections to the outside, such as antennas and cables, and if appropriate lightning surge protection measures are not taken, high voltages can be transmitted through these connections into the device, potentially leading to damage.
