MVA Series SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

When designing with the MVA series SMD capacitors, consider these important factors:

PCB Pad Design

Follow NCC's recommended pad configurations to ensure reliable solder joints and adequate heat dissipation. Proper pad dimensions are critical for both mechanical and electrical performance.

Reflow Profile

These capacitors are compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak temperature ~260°C). Ensure your reflow process matches NCC's recommended profiles to avoid damage to these components.

Thermal Management

Due to direct contact with the PCB, thermal management becomes critical in high-power applications. Ensure adequate copper area for heat dissipation and consider thermal vias for high-heat applications.

FAE Note: The MVA series is ideal for applications requiring the reliability of aluminum electrolytic technology with the space and manufacturing benefits of SMT assembly. For applications with higher ripple current needs, consider the MVE series.
