Behind every electronic innovation lies a fundamental truth: the performance of any system is only as strong as the components that drive it. Among these, passive components—capacitors, resistors, filters, and connectors—form the essential infrastructure that ensures stable power delivery, signal integrity, and reliable operation across all electronic devices. HONTEC is proud to partner with AVX Corporation, a global leader in passive components and interconnect solutions, to bring these critical components to your designs. Serving high-tech industries across 28 countries, HONTEC combines precision PCB manufacturing with comprehensive component intelligence to ensure that every AVX component performs reliably in your specific application.
AVX Corporation is a global powerhouse in passive components and electronic interconnects, offering one of the industry's most extensive and diverse portfolios, including ceramic capacitors, tantalum capacitors, resistors, filters, and connectors. With a rich history of innovation and a strong presence in automotive, industrial, defense, and telecommunications markets, AVX consistently delivers solutions known for their quality, performance, and reliability. From high-voltage ceramic capacitors to advanced filtering solutions, AVX drives the future of electronic systems.
HONTEC is a trusted source for AVX components, providing our clients with access to these essential technologies alongside our comprehensive sourcing, assembly, and supply chain support.
The relationship between a passive component and the board it sits on is symbiotic. A high-performance AVX capacitor or filter can only reach its full potential if the PCB is designed to support its electrical and thermal characteristics. HONTEC ensures that your AVX components perform at their peak through expert PCB layout, thermal management, and precise assembly processes.
Through HONTEC, clients gain access to the full breadth of the AVX product ecosystem. We support your design from prototype to production with components that meet the highest standards of quality and performance.

HONTEC supports these applications by ensuring precise assembly and supply chain management for these critical components.
Selecting the right capacitor requires careful consideration of electrical, thermal, and mechanical characteristics. HONTEC recommends using AVX's online parametric search tools and engineering resources.
1. Tantalum Capacitors: Offer high capacitance in a small volume, making them ideal for bulk decoupling and filtering in power supplies. However, they are polarity-sensitive and require voltage derating. AVX offers a range of low-ESR tantalum capacitors for high-performance applications.
2. Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs): Provide low ESR and ESL, making them excellent for high-frequency decoupling and filtering. They are non-polar and have a wide operating temperature range. However, capacitance can vary with voltage and temperature (e.g., X7R, X5R).
3. Design Rule: For power input filtering, a combination of a bulk tantalum capacitor and a small ceramic capacitor is often used. The tantalum handles the bulk capacitance, while the ceramic handles the high-frequency noise. HONTEC can guide you through this selection process and provide recommendations on component availability.
HONTEC maintains rigorous quality control standards (UL, SGS, ISO9001, IATF 16949) and implements advanced assembly processes tailored for passive components.
