Product Introduction
Driven by accelerating trends in energy conservation and the Internet of Things (IoT), the medium-to-long-term demand for high-efficiency capacitors continues to grow. Among these, Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) have become indispensable core components in electronic devices due to their compact size and high-performance characteristics. TAIYO YUDEN offers a comprehensive product lineup, spanning from fundamental material R&D to full-scale production, delivering ultra-small, low-profile, high-capacitance, and high-reliability solutions to meet diverse customer requirements. These MLCCs are widely utilized across various applications, including cloud computing, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), smartphones, and wearable devices, with specifications reaching voltages up to 1,000V and capacitance values exceeding 1,000µF.
High-reliability and a reduced size can be achieved by utilizing multilayer ceramic capacitors with a lower ESR and ESL than electrolytic capacitors in power supply circuits.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors are ultra-small and low profile, using a multilayered structure which internally alternates ceramic and electrode layers. TAIYO YUDEN uses its strengths in material development for commercialization and similarly invests its technical capabilities into printing and lamination technologies, while continuing to develop high-quality and high-reliability multilayer ceramic capacitors.
Key Features
The core competitive advantage of TAIYO YUDEN’s MLCCs lies in their superior technical capabilities and diverse product portfolio. These products feature the precise layering of hundreds of dielectric sheets, each less than 1µm thick (roughly one-hundredth the thickness of a human hair), and are defined by the following technical strengths:- High-Performance Specifications: Available in a wide variety of configurations, including capacitance values up to 1,000µF, dimensions as small as 0.25 x 0.125mm, and thicknesses down to 0.064mm.
- Superior Electrical Characteristics: Compared to electrolytic capacitors, MLCCs provide much lower ESR and ESL, effectively enhancing the reliability of power supply circuits while enabling device miniaturization.
- Vertically Integrated Production: From raw material development to high-precision printing and lamination, every stage is managed under a unified production process to ensure consistent product quality and stability.
To ensure a robust and stable supply chain, TAIYO YUDEN has established production bases worldwide, including Japan (Niigata and Gunma), Malaysia, South Korea, and China (Guangdong and Changzhou). Through strategic regional deployment and global collaborative manufacturing, TAIYO YUDEN rapidly delivers high-value-added products to the global market.
