Groundbreaking patented technology and intelligent design have allowed passives specialist AVX to develop a number of exciting new electronic component devices in 2006 such as FLEXISAFE Ultra Safe capacitors for high protection against mechanical cracking issues; 2-terminal Land Grid Array capacitors that offer Equivalent Series Inductance similar to 8-terminal IDCs; and CoreCap capacitors that deliver Equivalent Series Resistance down to 3mΩ at 300kHz.

The company also introduced the 9175 series Wire-to-Board Strip connector for connecting individual wires to a single row of contacts using IDC technology, radically reducing assembly time thanks to a dedicated single-wire insertion hand tool.

Over 60 new product families have been added to the company portfolio in 2006 (amounting to 19,500 new part numbers). These have been summarised in the latest “What’s New@AVX” catalogue, available from all local AVX sales offices.

The company has succeeded in developing a reputation for innovation and reliable technology over the years, winning five major industry technology awards in the last fifteen months, including product of the year awards for its TACmicrochip™, FLEXITERM™ and OxiCap™ capacitors.
