Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
High Voltage C0G Dielectric, 500 – 3,000 VDC
(Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s high voltage surface mount MLCCs in C0G dielectric
feature a 125°C maximum operating temperature and are
considered “stable.” The Electronics Industries Alliance (EIA)
characterizes C0G dielectric as a Class I material. Components
of this classification are temperature compensating and are
suited for resonant circuit applications or those where Q and
stability of capacitance characteristics are required. C0G
exhibits no change in capacitance with respect to time and
voltage and boasts a negligible change in capacitance with
reference to ambient temperature. Capacitance change is
limited to ±30 ppm/ºC from -55°C to +125°C.
These devices exhibit low ESR at high frequencies and find
conventional use as snubbers or filters in applications such as
switching power supplies and lighting ballasts. Their exceptional
performance at high frequencies has made high voltage MLCCs
the preferred dielectric choice of design engineers worldwide.
In addition to their use in power supplies, these capacitors
are widely used in industries related to automotive(hybrid),
telecommunications, medical, military, aerospace, semiconductors
and test/diagnostic equipment.
Automotive Grade is available for applications requiring proven,
reliable performance in harsh environments. Whether under-hood
or in-cabin, these capacitors are designed for mission and safety
critical automotive circuits. Stricter testing protocol and inspection
criteria have been established for automotive grade products
in recognition of potentially harsh environmental conditions.
KEMET automotive grade series capacitors meet the demanding
Automotive Electronics Council's AEC–Q200 qualification
requirements.
