Multilayer ceramics keep a lower profile

Kemet has addressed the growing need for reduced height components with the expansion of its range of high capacitance, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) to include two new low profile parts.

Kemet has addressed the growing need for reduced height components with the expansion of its range of high capacitance, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) to include two new low profile parts.

The new surface mount X5R dielectric components are housed in 0805 size cases and have an overall height of just 0.85mm; the maximum allowable height for EIA 0805 case size components is 0.95mm.

Capacitance values available are 4.7 and 10.0uF, both parts have a voltage rating of 6.3V DC.

Low profile MLCCs are designed for use in handheld and miniaturised electronics equipment where the height of components is a key concern.

Typical applications include LCD modules, mini-HDDs, DSC, IC cards, smart cards, PMCIA cards and MP3 players.

Kemet X5R dielectric MLCCs have low ESR and offer excellent levels of reliability.

They are suitable for continuous use between - 55 and +85C.

The new parts are supplied in tape and reel packaging suitable for automatic pick and place assembly procedures.

Both parts meet the requirements of RoHS legislation and can be subjected to Pb-free solder profiles.
