Surface Mount and Through-Hole Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors
KPS-MCC High Temperature 200°C SMPS Stacks
50 – 2,000 VDC (Industrial Grade)
Overview
KEMET Power Solutions - Military Case Code (KPS-MCC)
High Temperature SMPS Ceramic Stacked Capacitors
combine a robust and proprietary C0G/NPO base metal
electrode (BME) dielectric system with a durable lead-
frame technology for high temperature and high power
SMPSꢀapplications.ꢀTheseꢀdevicesꢀareꢀspecificallyꢀ
designed to withstand the demands of harsh industrial
environments such as down-hole oil exploration and
automotive/avionics engine compartment circuitry.
and thermal stress performance, while the parallel circuit
configurationꢀallowsꢀforꢀbulkꢀcapacitanceꢀinꢀtheꢀsameꢀorꢀ
smaller design footprint.
KEMET’s high temperature C0G capacitors are temperature-
compensating and are well suited for resonant circuit
applications, or for those where Q and stability of
capacitance characteristics are required. They exhibit no
change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage, and
boast a negligible change in capacitance with reference to
ambient temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±30
ppm/ºCꢀfromꢀ−55°Cꢀtoꢀ+200°C.ꢀInꢀaddition,ꢀtheseꢀcapacitorsꢀ
exhibit high insulation resistance with low dissipation factor
atꢀelevatedꢀtemperaturesꢀupꢀtoꢀ+200°C.ꢀTheyꢀalsoꢀexhibitꢀ
low ESR at high frequencies and offer greater volumetric
efficiencyꢀoverꢀcompetitiveꢀhighꢀtemperatureꢀBMEꢀceramicꢀ
capacitor devices.
The KPS-MCC is constructed with large chip multilayer
ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), horizontally stacked and
secured to a lead-frame termination system, using a high
melting point (HMP) solder alloy. The lead-frame isolates
the MLCCs from the printed circuit board (PCB), while
establishingꢀaꢀparallelꢀcircuitꢀconfiguration.ꢀMechanicallyꢀ
isolating the capacitors from the PCB improves mechanical
