KEMET Launches Commercial Grade HV Multilayer Ceramic Range
KEMET Corporation (Greenville, SC, USA) has launched its commercial grade high voltage ceramic surface mount capacitor product line. These parts are designed for applications demanding reliability at high voltages.
Commenting on the launch, CEO Jeffrey Graves said: "This product release continues KEMET's strategy to broaden our high-performance solutions to customers who value KEMET's product quality, on-time delivery, device performance, and competitive pricing".
These ceramic capacitors use a 'cascading' or 'floating' internal electrode design, which effectively divides the voltage across the device into smaller voltages that each internal section of the capacitor can easily accommodate, thereby enabling high voltage rating capability.
These ceramic capacitors include rated voltages from 500V to 3000V in COG and X7R dielectrics. Available EIA case size range from 0805 to 2225 with capacitance values from one picofarad to 0.22 microfarads. The capacitors have pure tin (Sn) plated terminations for good solderability and are RoHS compliant.
