Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
250 VAC Non-Safety Rated AC Capacitors CAN series
(Industrial Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s CAN series are non-safety rated ceramic
capacitors designed for 250 VAC applications where
higher CV values are required but not available in
safety certied MLCCs. These capacitors are qualied
for continuous use under AC line conditions of 250
VAC 50/60 Hz. 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.
For added reliability, KEMET's exible termination
technology is an available option that provides superior
ex performance over standard termination systems.
This series is available in X7R and C0G dielectrics. 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.
C0G exhibits no change in capacitance with respect
to time and voltage and boasts a negligible change in
capacitance with reference to ambient temperature. CAN
series is specically designed and tested for 50/60 Hz line
frequencies and other non-safety critical applications.
