The BSI and IECQ have updated their CECC 32101-801 approval for surface-mount capacitors to a new assessment specification. The new QC32100 specification goes beyond the limitations of the original release and covers a wider range of surface-mount capacitors, including 0603 devices, and new voltage ratings of 16Vdc, 25Vdc, 500Vdc and 1kVdc.

QC32100 will allow Charcroft to supply an extended range of CECC-release C0G and X7R surface-mount capacitors from Syfer Technology, with all types of terminations including tin/lead plated versions. Read more...
