According to Scott Harris, Product Marketing Manager, Advanced Ceramic Capacitors, "We have expanded our MLCC product offering to include a 630-V range to meet the growing demands for this specific voltage capability. This offering encompasses a wide range of applications across several industries including automotive, telecommunications, industrial, and military."The new line is available in a variety of configurations, including RoHS versions.
