New chip capacitors have been developed in Russia to replace foreign counterparts. They are used in radio communications, satellite navigation, and electronics that operate in strong electromagnetic radiation environments.
Ruselectronics holding (part of Rostec) showcased the products of its subsidiary, the Giriсond Research Institute, at the ExpoElectronica-2024 exhibition.
The creation of components in new form factors is a response to customers' demands for miniaturization and increased mounting density of functional blocks in equipment for various purposes. The capacitors created by the enterprise are not inferior in their characteristics to leading global counterparts, which, in the context of sanctions restrictions, allows us to continue working on modernizing existing and creating new domestic electronics.
The K15-39 ceramic capacitors from Giricond, which were presented at the exhibition, have a nominal voltage of 1 to 10 kV and can be used in equipment with ranges from 3 to 3,000 MHz. The products operate at temperatures from -60 to +125 °C and have an operating time of at least 20,000 hours in the maximum permissible operating mode. The manufacturers have incorporated a service life of at least 25 years into them.
Another interesting type of capacitor is the protected reference noise-suppressing capacitor K10-85. It was shown for the first time. They suppress noise in the range from 300 kHz to 1000 MHz and maintain their performance characteristics for 25,000 hours of operation. The developers mention that the K10-85 can be used in field electronics.
As Fedor Denisenko, General Director of Giricond, recently told RIA Novosti, the Research Institute is also working on ceramic chip filters for the modernization and development of new field electronics equipment, onboard systems for military and special equipment. A pilot batch of products "has already passed testing, during which the products fully confirmed the stated characteristics", and ceramic chip filters are now being prepared for the release of an installation test batch.
Such chips will help combat the enemy's advanced weapons, which generate directed electromagnetic radiation capable of disabling combat electronics. However, Denisenko did not name the product's name or code.
