Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Z5U Dielectric, 50 – 100 VDC (Commercial Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Z5U dielectric features an 85°C maximum
operating temperature and is considered “general-purpose.”
The Electronics Components, Assemblies & Materials
Association (EIA) characterizes Z5U dielectric as a Class III
material. Components of this classification are fixed, ceramic
dielectric capacitors suited for bypass and decoupling or other
applications in which dielectric losses, high insulation resistance
and capacitance stability are not of major importance. Z5U exhibits
a predictable change in capacitance with respect to time and
voltage and displays wide variations in capacitance with reference
to ambient temperature. Capacitance change is limited to +22%,
-56% from +10°C to +85°C.
