US Patent:

20210166873, Jun 3, 2021

Filed:

Feb 10, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/172248

Inventors:

- Fountain Inn SC, US
Carl L. Eggerding - Greenville SC, US

International Classification:

H01G 2/06
H01G 4/224
H05K 3/34
H01G 4/30
H01G 4/232

Abstract:

Relatively low noise capacitors are provided for surface mounted applications. Electro-mechanical vibrations generate audible noise, which are otherwise relatively reduced through modifications to MLCC device structures, and/or their mounting interfaces on substrates such as printed circuit boards (PCBs). Different embodiments variously make use of flexible termination compliance so that surface mounting has reduced amplitude vibrations transmitted to the PCB. In other instances, side terminal and transposer embodiments effectively reduce the size of the mounting pads relative to the case of the capacitor, or a molded enclosure provides standoff, termination compliance and clamping of vibrations.

Inventors:

- Fountain Inn SC, US
Carl L. Eggerding - Greenville SC, US
Bob Knopsnyder - Simpsonville SC, US

Assignee:

AVX Corporation - Fountain Inn SC

International Classification:

H01G 11/60
H01G 11/72

Abstract:

An ultra-thin electrochemical energy storage device is provided which utilizes electrode material with multi-layer current collectors and with an organic electrolyte between the electrodes. Multiple cells may be positioned in a plurality of stacks and all of the cells may be in series, parallel or some combination thereof. The energy storage device can be constructed at less than 0.5 millimeters thick and exhibit very low ESR and higher temperature range capabilities.
