Detailed Specifications For Series MVK
• Surface Mount
• Low Profile Vertical Chip
• Solvent Proof
• +105°C Maximum Temperature

The MVK series capacitors are the standard vertical chip capacitors designed for reflow soldering. The maximum height for most of these capacitors is 5.5mm, making them ideal for use in low profile situations.

The MVK series capacitors were developed to withstand HCFC cleaning agents for five minutes by ultrasonic, vapor or immersion. This solvent proof design allows all circuit board components to be cleaned together, at the same time, without resorting to more expensive epoxy end-sealed capacitors. Refer to the Mini-Glossary for recommended cleaning conditions.
