High-temperature through-hole ceramic capacitors for extreme environments

Kemet's through-hole ceramic capacitors for extreme environments and high temperatures are now available through TTI. The high-temperature radial moulded multilayer ceramic capacitors offer industry-leading performance in extreme environments and high temperature operation up to 200C. Available in C0G dielectric and X7R dielectric, the halogen-free capacitors have been designed specifically to withstand the severe shock and vibration conditions associated with deep-well and horizontal drilling activities, and are also well-suited for use in geophysical probes, hybrid and electric motor drives, aerospace engine compartments and defense applications. The gold-plated lead wires of the components help withstand extreme temperatures while the epoxy molded case provides environmental protection and mechanical durability. The capacitors benefit from a very wide operating temperature range of -55C to +200C, low ESR and ESL and are fully RoHS and REACH compliant, says the company.
