Border Capacitors

Border Caps feature a topside electrode strategically withdrawn from the edges. This design increases the distance between electrodes, significantly reducing the risk of shorting during epoxy die-mounting. Widely employed for optical recognition-based assembly, Border Capacitors provide a reliable solution where avoiding shorts is critical.

Dielectric Materials – Class II

Dielectrics below are charcterized by high dielectric constants, increased losses and higher temperature coefficients. These properties are inherent with this class of material but the high dielectric constans permit the use of smaller size to achieve low series inductance and meet dimensional requirements. Capacitors made with these materials are often used for coupling of mictrostrip line circuits where a small chip is necessary. Used as a bypass capacitor, the small size provides low series inductance and dielectric losses are typically of little concern.
