Automotive grade KPS series stacked X7R multilayer ceramic capacitor uses lead frame technology to vertically stack one or two MLCCs into a parallel circuit in a single surface mount package. Lead frame isolates capacitors from the PCB. Provide up to 10 mm of board flex capability. Is RoHS-compliant. Capable of Pb-Free reflow profiles and reportedly provides lower ESR and higher ripple current capability compared to other dielectric solutions. Reduces audible, microphonic noise.

KISS selective soldering machines now have a dual nozzle option. Two nozzles operate in tandem, each one individually programmable. A board with components of different sizes can be processed in a single pass. Both nozzles operate within a single soldering sequence program. Can process a small component using a 3 mm or 6 mm nozzle, as well as a larger multi-row connector on the same PCB using a 12 mm or 18 mm nozzle.
