In this tutorial, provided by Digi-Key and AVX Corporation, we will review the features of Oxicap™ and discuss OxiCap's reliability and performance.

OxiCap™ Niobium Oxide Capacitor


OxiCap® NbO Capacitors are solid electrolyte capacitors uniquely developed with niobium oxide-based technology by Kyocera AVXThey are extremely stable performance capacitors with high-reliability levels of 0.5%/1000hrs at 85°C or better, high safety technology with non-burning high resistance failure modes, and high breakdown voltageOxiCap® is available as low ESR, High CV, low profile, up to 125°C, and multi-anode technologiesNOJ OxiCap® capacitors use Niobium Oxide powder as the main material for the anode electrode for general applicationsHigh-reliability level (failure rate 0.5%/1000 hours); low ESR NOS devices have an even lower failure rate (0.2%/1000 hours) – even more reliable than tantalum capacitors.

Features

The main features of OxiCap series Niobium oxide capacitors may be summarized as follows:

1. AVX Corporation’s OxiCap series Niobium oxide capacitors are extremely stable performance capacitors with a high-reliability level of 0.5%/1000hrs at 85°C or betterThey have high safety technology with non-burning high resistance failure mode and high breakdown voltageOxiCap® is available as low ESR, High CV, low profile, up to 125°C, and multi-anode technologies.

2. The NOJ OxiCap® capacitors use Niobium Oxide powder as the main material for the anode electrode for general applicationsThey have a high-reliability level (failure rate 0.5%/1000 hours) and low ESR NOS devices have an even lower failure rate (0.2%/1000 hours) – even more reliable than tantalum capacitors.

3. The OxiCap® NOS Series features & benefits include low ESR Nb0 Capacitors, Non-Burn Safe Technology, Reliability Level: of 0.2%/1000 hrs, 100% Surge Current Tested CV Range: of 10-1000μF / 1.8-8V 9 Case Sizes Available IBM Global Approval Received in 2004 Elektra Award Received in 2005 Meets Requirements of AEC-Q200 -55 to +125°C Operation Temperature.

Applications

The NOJ OxiCap® capacitors use Niobium Oxide powder as the main material for the anode electrode for general applicationsThe OxiCap® non-burn technology is based on NbO niobium oxide ceramic material as the anodic material processed through the same manufacturing process as tantalum capacitorsThe NLJ Series Niobium Oxide Capacitors feature OxiCap® non-burn technology and are environmentally friendly and RoHS compliant.
