Overview
KEMET’s “L” Series SMD MLCCs with SnPb Termination are designed for critical applications requiring tin/lead termination. Featuring a COG dielectric, which remains stable across a wide temperature range, these capacitors offer reliable performance for the aerospace, military, and industrial sectors. The COG dielectric also delivers consistent capacitance that does not fluctuate with time or voltage and changes minimally with ambient temperature. This product provides a solution for resonant circuit applications or scenarios where stable capacitance is critical.
Benefits
Key advantages of these MLCCs include a broad operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, ensuring robustness and reliability. They are available in multiple case sizes from EIA 0402 to 2225, with voltage ratings from 10 V to 250 V. The capacitors offer a diverse range of capacitance values from 0.5 pF to 0.47 µF and varied capacitance tolerances to suit different requirements. These components exhibit low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL), high ripple current capability, and absence of piezoelectric noise—making them a versatile choice for many applications.
Applications
These capacitors are suitable for applications that demand high reliability, such as military and aerospace sectors, and are designed to operate at line frequencies extending into the MHz range. KEMET commits to supporting industries that require lead-containing electronics, ensuring a stable long-term supply for these non-RoHS components. Moreover, the termination finish is flexible and options are available upon request for customized solutions.
Ordering Information
Customers can choose from various packaging options, e.g., Bulk Bag or Reel, and capacitance tolerances, including cases where these capacitors are unmarked for laser marking. Additionally, the datasheet provides guidance on interpreting KEMET’s part numbering system, which helps in specifying the desired product features.
Packaging Options
Different reel sizes and pitches are available to accommodate specific quantity requirements. Bulk Bag is the default packaging, and additional details for tape and reel options are accessible in the “Tape & Reel Packaging Information” section. For unique packaging needs or laser marking, further information is available under the “Capacitor Marking” section.
Additional Options
KEMET also offers an array of capacitance tolerances and termination finishes. Customers are encouraged to contact KEMET for information on additional options that may not be outlined in the datasheet.
