Overview
The KEMET Automotive Grade High Voltage surface
mount MLCCs in X7R dielectric feature a 125°C
maximum operating temperature and are considered
“temperature stable.” The Electronics Industries Alliance
(EIA) characterizes X7R dielectric as a Class II material.
Components of this classication are xed, ceramic
dielectric capacitors suited for bypass and decoupling
applications or for frequency discriminating circuits,
where Q and stability of capacitance characteristics
are not critical. X7R exhibits a predictable change in
capacitance with respect to time and voltage and boasts a
minimal change in capacitance with reference to ambient
temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±15% from
−55°C to +125°C.
Available in a variety of case sizes and industry leading
CV values (capacitance/voltage), these devices exhibit
low leakage current and low ESR at high frequencies.
Conventional uses include both snubbers and lters
in applications such as switching power supplies and
lighting ballasts. Their exceptional performance at high
frequencies has made high voltage MLCC's 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.
Whether underhood or in-cabin, these capacitors are
designed to provide reliable performance in 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 qualication requirements.
