AVX exit crisis for HV ceramic capacitors — how does HVC solve it?
Following Murata's August 2018 withdrawal, KYOCERA AVX announced its own exit from the high-voltage doorknob capacitor market in October 2018 — creating a catastrophic double supply vacuum. HVC has since successfully migrated 500+ global customers from AVX HP/HW/HK series to HVCT8G alternatives.
| Date | Event | HVC Response |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Aug 2018 | Murata withdraws all HV ceramics | Activated Murata replacement program |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 2018 | AVX exits HV doorknob market | Launched AVX migration initiative |
| 2019–2024 | Market supply gap persists | 200+ AVX models qualified, 500+ customers migrated |
Key AVX series covered:
* HP Series: Precision high-voltage doorknob → HVCT8G-DL (N4700 upgrade)
* HW Series: Standard doorknob → HVCT8G-DL (extended voltage range)
* HK Series: High-capacitance doorknob → HVCT8G-DL (higher density option)
Engineers currently using AVX parts should initiate qualification before existing inventory depletes, as secondary market pricing for remaining AVX stock has increased 300%-500% since 2019.
