MLCCs take lead in chip capacitor production expansion

摘要

Mainland China's chip capacitor lineup consists of aluminum electrolytic and tantalum types in cylindrical casing, and MLCCs that use NPO, X7R, Z5U and Y5V dielectric materials and come mainly in 0201, 0402 and 0603 sizes. The latter kind dominates shipments. The MLCC selection also includes 0805, 1206 and 1210 units, while 01005 variants are mostly from large makers and 008004 types are still at the development stage. Shenzhen Eyang, one of the mainland's major MLCC suppliers, is expected to release 008004 models in the next one or two years. The industry's smallest, 008004 capacitors come from foreign companies such as Kyocera, Murata and Taiyo at present.
