CB Series: PET-HT Dielectric – Lead Free Version
General Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Film chip capacitor using a naked and stacked construction with
metallized High Temperature PET (polyethylene terephtalate).
ADVANTAGES
• Use of high temperature dielectric films makes these
capacitors suitable for IR or vapor phase reflow processes.
This chip is built without specific encapsulation.
• The intrinsic elasticity of the dielectric film allows an excellent
compatibility of the capacitor with all types of material for
printed circuit boards.
• The self-healing property of film technology results to a safety
open failure mode and better overall reliability.
• Excellent thermal shock resistance.
• Low dissipation factor ESR & ESL.
• No piezoelectric effect.
APPLICATIONS
General purpose function in low voltage applications where
miniaturization and SMD is required. Typical applications would be:
• Available in tape and reel suitable for automatic placement.
• Non-polar construction.
• Automotive (Airbag, Fuel injection calculator...)
• Telecom (Public switching systems, modems, telephone set,
cordless, mobile)
• Industrial (SMPS, Power convertor module...)
