Robust and reliable capacitor for critical applications

Available now from Rutroik, the X8G 150C extension complements the KEMET high-temperature dielectric Class I portfolio. The capacitor is a rugged and reliable component for critical applications that demand stability at higher operating temperatures. The extension displays no change in capacitance as a function of voltage and exhibits just a minimal change in capacitance as a function of ambient temperature. It is ideal for transient voltage suppression, safety-related circuitry, filtering and decoupling, and bypass applications.

The component is a non-polar element, which minimizes installation problems. It is suitable for use at temperatures from -55C to +150C and has a high ripple current capability and a capacitance change of ±30ppm/C. Available capacitance tolerance reaches ±0.1pF, ±0.25pF, ±0.5pF, ±1%, ±2%, ±5%, ±10%, and ±20%.

The clean matte tin-plated termination surface allows for easy soldering. Optionally, the component is available with flexible termination technology, which prevents the transfer of stress from the PCB to the rigid ceramic body, helping to avoid flex cracks that can cause low IR failures or short circuits. DC voltage ratings are 10V, 16V, 25V, 50V, 100V, 200V, and 250V.

The capacitors are available in 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210, 1812, and new in 2220 case sizes to EIA standards with a capacitance range from 0,5pF up to 470nF.

In addition to commercial use, the part is suitable for harsh environments and general high-temperature applications. Additionally, an automotive-grade version is available according to AEC-Q200, and the ESR and ESL are extremely low.
