LED Lighting Application MLCCs

Murata Electronics LED Lighting Application MLCCs include GR3 and RDE multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) created specifically for LED lighting applications. The GR3 and RDE MLCCs are designed to incorporate into LED lighting circuits that follow the bridge rectification stage to provide DC supply smoothing and EMI filtering. These capacitors provide DC smoothing and acoustic noise reduction. The GR3 MLCCs show a 10dB reduction in acoustic noise over standard MLCCs. The RDE capacitors feature radial leaded insertion production. Both series of Murata Electronics LED Lighting Application MLCCs offer improved DC bias and acoustic noise reduction than the X7R series.
