Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
KPS HT Series, High Temperature 150°C, X8L Dielectric,
10 – 50 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET Power Solutions High Temperature (KPS HT)
stacked capacitors utilize a proprietary lead-frame
technology to vertically stack one or two multilayer
ceramic chip capacitors into a single compact surface
mount package. The attached lead-frame mechanically
isolates the capacitor(s) from the printed circuit board,
thereby offering advanced mechanical and thermal stress
performance. Isolation also addresses concerns for
audible, microphonic noise that may occur when a bias
voltage is applied. A two-chip stack offers up to double
the capacitance in the same or smaller design footprint
when compared to traditional surface mount MLCC
devices. Providing up to 10 mm of board flex capability,
KPS Series capacitors are environmentally friendly and
in compliance with RoHS legislation. Combined with X8L
dielectric, these devices are capable of reliable operation up
to 150°C and are well suited for high temperature filtering,
bypass and decoupling applications.
X8L exhibits a predictable change in capacitance with
respect to time and voltage, and boasts a minimal change in
capacitance with reference to ambient temperature up to 125°C.
Beyond 125°C, X8L displays a wider variation in capacitance.
Capacitance change is limited to ±15% from −55°C to +125°C and
+15, −40% from 125°C to 150°C.
In addition to Commercial grade, Automotive grade devices
are available and meet the demanding Automotive Electronics
Council's AEC-Q200 qualification requirements.
