Ceramic expansion targets the old wave

Additions to both axial and radial ceramic ranges meet growing demand for higher capacitance offerings in through-hole technology.

Kemet has expanded its ceramic through-hole product portfolio, with extended capacitance and voltage values for both axial (Aximax) and radial (Goldmax) conformally coated product lines in virtually every available case size in X7R dielectric.

These new extensions meet the growing customer demand for higher capacitance offerings in through-hole technology.

Radial through-hole components (C3xx series) are now available in capacitances up to 10uF, and axial through-hole components (C4xx series) are now available in capacitances up to 4.7uF.

In addition, both technologies are now available in 25 and 250V ratings for all case sizes.

With an operating temperature range between -55 and +125C, and with capacitance shift limited to plus or minus 15% over that range, these X7R devices are an excellent choice for electrical applications, general purpose applications and power supply circuits.

In addition, all parts are environmentally friendly and in compliance with RoHS legislation.

"Kemet will continue to push the envelope for leading-edge through-hole product offerings", says Product Line Manager Scott Carson.

"While many other manufacturers are eliminating or de-emphasising through-hole designs, we continue to focus on and support this important market".

"We strongly believe that it is part of our charter as 'the capacitance company'".

Price ranges from US $0.03 to $4.12 each for these new products depending on capacitance, voltage, case size and tolerance.
