Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs) COG Dielectric, 10-250 VDC (Commercial Grade) – KEMET

Category: Capacitors, Electronics, Kemet Electronics Corporation

Overview

The KEMET datasheet provides detailed information on their Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs) with COG dielectric that have a voltage range of 10-250 VDC and operate within a -55°C to +125°C temperature range. Suitable for resonant circuit applications, these capacitors are designed to offer stable capacitance characteristics, high thermal stability, and no piezoelectric noise. The COG dielectric is acknowledged for exhibiting minimal capacitance change over time, voltage, and ambient temperature.

Benefits

These SMD MLCCs bring various benefits, including their wide operating temperature range, compliance with RoHS and REACH, diverse case sizes, multiple voltage ratings, a broad range of capacitance offerings, and varied capacitance tolerances. Additionally, they possess extremely low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance), and are designed without capacitance decay over time, making them a non-polar solution which simplifies installation.

Ordering Information

Ordering options for these multilayer capacitors are based on a range of variables from case size to capacitance values and tolerances. Additional options like flexible terminations and different termination finishes are available upon request.

Packaging Options

Packaging for these capacitors comes in various types like Bulk Bag or Reel, with unmarked options indicating that the capacitors have not been laser marked. A specific ordering code (C-Spec) identifies each packaging type, and there is an option for a tighter 2 mm pitch reel to double the capacitor count per reel.

Applications

The SMD MLCCs with COG dielectric are recommended for applications that involve critical timing, tuning, low-loss circuits, and circuits that require high current, such as decoupling, bypass, filtering, transient voltage suppression, blocking, and energy storage functions.

Environmental and Quality Certifications

All commercial grade products meet internal qualification standards with rigorous testing. They are also environmentally compliant, being lead (Pb)-free and adhering to both RoHS and REACH regulations without any exemptions.
