Novel Construction

Proprietary Internal Geometry: Externally, the Eulex Gap Capacitor features a single-sided gapped pair of electrodes. However, what is not visible is the unique internal electrode geometry embedded within the dielectric material. This patented design enhances capacitance, achieves low ESR/ESL, and minimizes parasitic resonances.

Single-Layer Construction: Unlike MLCCs with their stacked layers, the XG Series Eulex Gap Capacitor maintains true a single-layer construction, minimizing resistive losses and enhancing high-frequency performance.

Streamlined Design: By eliminating wire bonds, vias, and traditional terminations – primary sources of parasitic inductance – the Eulex Gap Capacitor achieves enhanced reliability and minimizes mechanical vulnerabilities.
