High-performance ceramic stacked capacitors for the most demanding needs

TTI Europe now stocks Kemet Power Solutions (KPS) MIL Series ceramic stacked capacitors which are available in commercial, defence and space grades and are suitable for both standard and high-reliability switch mode power supply (SMPS) and pulse energy applications The KPS MIL Series is constructed using 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 establishing a parallel circuit configuration. Mechanically isolating the capacitors from the PCB improves mechanical and thermal stress performance, while the parallel circuit configuration allows for bulk capacitance in the same or smaller design footprint.
