Ceramic capacitors come in large case sizes

 Ceramic capacitors come in large case sizes Kemet Corp. has expanded its HiCV C0G multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) surface-mount product portfolio in large case 1812 and 2220 sizes.

Capacitance offerings have been extended in both 50V and 100V rated products, providing design engineers with an MLCC alternative for applications that are sensitive to electrically and/or mechanically induced circuit noise and that require the stability and performance of a Class 1 dielectric.

These new devices are being offered with capacitance tolerances of F(±1 percent), G(±2 percent), J(±5 percent), K(±10 percent) and M(±20 percent) and meet both EU and China RoHS directives. Marquee HiCV values associated with this product offering include the following part types:

With an operating temperature range between -55°C and +125°C and capacitance shift limited to ±30ppm/°C over that range, these devices suit circuit applications requiring critical timing and tuning such as mobile communications, automotive electronics and power supply circuits. The devices also exhibit no piezoelectric properties and no capacitance change with respect to applied rated DC voltage or time.

All parts are being offered in both commercial and automotive grades with 100 percent pure matte tin-plated terminations that allow for excellent solderability. Sn/Pb is also available for customers who require an alternative termination finish for high-reliability applications that do not require RoHS compliance.
