Product Overview
The datasheet presents information about KEMET ceramic chip capacitors MIL-PRF-123, which are tailored to meet military designation standards. These capacitors come in various chip sizes such as 0805, 1206, 1210, 1808, 1812, 1825, and 2225, signifying their length and width dimensions in inches. Furthermore, they differ in terms of capacitance, working voltage, temperature characteristic, and failure rate. Capacitors are clearly marked with the KEMET trademark and a 2-digit capacitance symbol for easy identification.
Capacitor Specifications
Capacitance values are indicated by a picofarad code system where the first two digits show significant figures, and the third digit represents the number of zeros that follow. The capacitors have a standard failure rate not applicable to them, and their temperature characteristic is offered in two classifications: Ultra Stable with a temperature range of -55 to +125°C and a capacitance change of ±30 ppm/°C, and Stable with the same temperature range but a capacitance change of ±15% to ±1596.
Design and Marking
Each capacitor is provided with a military and KEMET designation for identification. The ceramic chip capacitors are laser-marked with the KEMET trademark coupled with a 2-digit capacitance symbol, providing a contrasting color for visibility. The chip dimensions include a thickness and solder-coated or solder-plated terminations, with additional tolerances for solder-coated termination.
Ordering Information
While ordering these capacitors, specific information must be provided regarding termination type, failure rate category, temperature characteristic, capacitance, tolerance, working voltage, and temperature characteristic measured with and without DC bias voltage. For termination, ‘H’ designates Nickel Guarded, Solder-Coated (Sn60), and ‘L’ stands for 70/30 Tin/Lead Plated. Tolerance levels for capacitors range from ±0.25pF to ±10%, and working voltage options are either 50V or 100V. The ordering code, like ‘0805 2 101 K 5 GA’, encapsulates all of these specifications.
Military Specifications and KEMET Styles
The datasheet identifies capacitors through the Military Specification Number MIL-PRF-123 and provides a Slash Sheet Number along with the corresponding KEMET Style for each ceramic chip size.
