Capacitors come in smaller packages

Kemet has brought out EIA 1210 case size capacitors, offering the same capacitance and voltage extensions as its newly expanded EIA 1812 line, only in a smaller package.

Kemet has brought out EIA 1210 case size capacitors, offering the same capacitance and voltage extensions as its newly expanded EIA 1812 line, only in a smaller package.

The capacitance values offered are 6.8uF and 10uF in a 25V rated part type and 4.7uF in a 50V rated part type.

"Customer demand for more capacitance has translated into thinner dielectric layers and a higher layer count", says Corey Antoniades, Associate Product Manager for the Ceramic Business Unit.

"Our advanced sheet-making and laminating technology has allowed us to meet these demands".

These HiCV capacitors are suitable for both automotive and consumer- oriented electronics and devices such as laptop and desktop computers, digital cameras, gaming systems, LCD's, handheld devices, disc drives and more.

Applications include decoupling, by-pass, filtering and energy storage.

Superior solderability is achieved thanks to 100% pure matte, tin-plated terminations; tin/lead termination is also available for those customers needing the capacitors for high-reliability and military applications.

The capacitors are being offered in an X7R dielectric with an operating temperature range between -55 C and +125C, with zero bias capacitance shift limited to +/- 15% over that range.

Capacitance tolerances offered include both K(+/- 10%) and M(+/- 20%).

They meet all requirements of the Automotive Electronic Council's AEC-Q200-Rev C and are available in a very cost-friendly range of $.20 - $.32 per capacitor.
