Highly durable lead type MLCCs offer up to 200C for automobile use

Murata’s RHS series of lead type multilayer ceramic capacitors for automobile use at maximum usage temperature of 200C is now in stock at TTI Europe. The products have been developed for use in equipment located in severe temperature environments such as the engine compartment of an automobile. The high temperature rating has been achieved by applying a coating of newly developed heat resistant resin around the highly heat resistant multilayer ceramic capacitor. RHS series MLCCs are currently available with a rated voltage of 100VDC and 250VDC. This range is expected to be expanded soon by Murata. The products comply with the AEC-Q200 standard and therefore the lead wire type capacitor can be connected by welding or crimping close to a noise generating source. The extreme surge test of the ISO7637-2 standard has also been passed by the capacitors.
