Automotive-grade MLCCs rated for extended high-temp operation at 200C
These MLCCs are now approved for operation over a temperature range of -55C to +200C for 500 hours, and provide unlimited operation to +175C. The devices combine their high temperature performance with a capacitance range from 100 pF to 1 µF and low capacitance tolerances as tight as ±5%.
Suitable for EMI filtering in sensors and DC motors in the most extreme automotive environments, K…H series capacitors are equipped with a high reliability MLCC insert produced in a unique wet build process and featuring noble metal electrodes. AEC-Q200 qualified with PPAP available on request, the leaded MLCCs are more robust to mechanical stress and can withstand higher operating temperatures than SMD parts, while saving space by eliminating the need for a PCB.
The Ceramic Class 1 and 2 MLCCs feature an ultra-stable C0G dielectric with a capacitance change of ± 30 ppm/K and a X0U dielectric with TCC of +22% / -56% from -55C to +175C. The X0U dielectric also fulfills the X7R specification of ±15% from -55C to +125C and the X9V specification of +22% / -82% from -55C to +200C. For direct welding on lead frames and / or overmoulding with plastic, the devices offer straight or crimped leads with spacing of 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm. Their lead wires measure 0.5 mm or 0.6 mm and are constructed of 100 % tinned copper-clad steel.
Lead (Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant, and halogen-free, the capacitors offer a coating made of flame-retardant epoxy resin in accordance with UL 94 V-0.
