Kemet releases MLCC for demanding applications
Kemet Electronics
KPS Series MLCC
Kemet has released the KPS Series X7R multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC), targeted at the alternative energy, industrial/lighting, automotive, military/aerospace and telecommunications markets.
The KPS Series utilises proprietary lead frame technology to vertically stack one or two MLCCs into a parallel circuit in a single compact surface-mount package.
The lead frame isolates the capacitors from the printed circuit board, offering advanced mechanical and thermal stress performance and addressing concerns for audible, microphonic noise that may occur when a bias voltage is applied.
Stacking allows for up to double the capacitance in the same or smaller design footprint when compared with traditional surface-mount MLCC devices.
KPS Series capacitors are environmentally friendly and comply with RoHS legislation.
Currently available in X7R dielectric, these devices are capable of lead-free reflow profiles and provide lower ESR and higher ripple current capability when compared with some other dielectric solutions.
Designed for demanding applications such as power supplies, typical applications include smoothing circuits, DC-to-DC converters, input/output filters, piezoelectric and mechanical noise reduction and improving flex performance in board-flex applications.
