Capacitor sample kit suitable for automotive applications include EMI filtering

Stocked by RS Components, the K...H Sample Kit from Vishay has 240 pieces from the K...H high operating temperature multilayer ceramic capacitor (HOTcap) series. This capacitor sample kit offers 24 different radial MLCC capacitors that differ in dielectric, capacitance value and voltage, with 10 of each variety supplied. The capacitors are AEC-Q200 qualified and suitable for the harshest automotive operating conditions. These MLCCs feature an unmatched maximum operating temperature of +175C, and are constructed from a stable C0G dielectric or X0U dielectric. The C0G dielectric versions have a capacitance change of ±330ppm/K between -55C and +175C. The MLCCs with an X0U dielectric have a capacitance change of +22%/-56% in the same temperature range. Providing a new standard of performance and reliability, the HOTcap range from Vishay is produced with a unique wet build process and noble metal electrodes. Featuring 100% tinned copper clad leads, straight leads or crimped leads are available, with spacing of 2.5mm or 5mm. These high operating temperature MLCCs also feature UL 94 V-0 flame retardant epoxy resin. Suitable automotive applications include EMI filtering in functional areas such as cable harnesses, turbo chargers, throttle values, brake system controls, exhaust gas and seat position sensors.
