Ceramic capacitors suit sensitive
applications
Kemet's ceramic capacitors exhibit no piezoelectric properties as well as no capacitance change with respect to applied rated DC voltage or time.
Kemet has added 80 new models to its range of its surface-mount, multilayer ceramic capacitor products Kemet now offers ultra-high capacitance with the stability and performance of a Class 1 di-electric in a 100% lead (Pb)-free package

High-voltage MLCs aim for commercial success
A new commercial-grade high-voltage ceramic surface mount capacitor product line is designed for applications demanding reliability at high voltages.
Introduction of these new part types provides design engineers with an MLCC alternative to competing capacitor technologies in applications that are sensitive to electrically and/or mechanically induced circuit noise.
Capacitance values have been extended in 10, 16, 25, 50 and 100V rated EIA 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206 and 1210 case sizes and include capacitance tolerance offerings of F(+/-1%), G(+/-2%), J(+/-5%), K(+/-10%) and M(+/-20%).
With an operating temperature range of between -55C and +125C and with capacitance shift limited to +/-30 parts per million/C over that range, these devices are suitable for audio applications.
They are designed to provide circuit functions of critical timing and tuning-in applications, including mobile communications, automotive electronics and power supply circuits.
These new products exhibit no piezoelectric properties as well as no capacitance change with respect to applied rated DC voltage or time.
All parts are environmentally friendly, in compliance with RoHS legislation and are being offered in both commercial and automotive grades with 100% pure matte tin-plated terminations that allow for excellent solderability.
