SMD MLCCs offer advanced mechanical and thermal stress performance

Available from Mouser, KEMET KPS L Series SnPb Termination X7R SMD Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors utilize a proprietary lead-frame technology to vertically stack one or two MLCCs into a single compact SMD package. The attached lead-frame mechanically isolates the capacitor's from the printed circuit board. This offers advanced mechanical and thermal stress performance. Audible, microphonic noise that may occur when a bias voltage is applied is addressed through isolation. A two chip stack offers up to double the capacitance in the same or smaller design footprint when compared to traditional surface mount MLCC devices. Providing up to 10mm of board flex capability, the company’s tin/lead electroplating process meets a 5% minimum lead content.
