Overview
KEMET Power Solutions (KPS) Automotive Series stacked
capacitors utilize a proprietary lead-frame technology
to vertically stack one or two multilayer ceramic chip
capacitors into a single compact surface mount package.
The attached lead-frame mechanically isolates the
capacitor/s from the printed circuit board, therefore offering
advanced mechanical and thermal stress performance.
Isolation also addresses concerns for audible, microphonic
noise that may occur when a bias voltage is applied. A
two chip stack offers up to double the capacitance in
the same or smaller design footprint when compared to
traditional surface mount MLCC devices. Providing up to
10 mm of board ex capability, KPS Series capacitors are
environmentally friendly and in compliance with RoHS
legislation. Available in X7R dielectric, these devices are
capable of Pb-Free reow proles and provide lower ESR, ESL
and higher ripple current capability when compared to other
dielectric solutions.
Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric, KEMET’s
KPS Series devices exhibit a predictable change in
capacitance with respect to time and voltage and boast a
minimal change in capacitance with reference to ambient
temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±15% from
−55°C to +125°C.
KPS Series automotive grade capacitors meet the demanding
Automotive Electronics Council's AEC–Q200 qualication
requirements.
