This document introduces KEMET's ceramic chip capacitor products.
This document provides an overview of KEMET’s multilayer ceramic chip capacitors, describing their construction, available temperature characteristics (C0G, X7R, X5R, Z5U, Y5V) and typical applications. It includes manufacturing details, packaging options and compliance information.
Detailed electrical characteristics such as working voltage, capacitance tolerance, dielectric withstanding voltage, aging rates and impedance versus frequency are presented together with environmental limits, reliability data and handling recommendations.
| Working Voltage | Maximum continuous DC voltage as per rating (e.g., 10 V‑200 V) |
|---|---|
| Dielectric Withstanding Voltage | 250 % of rated voltage for 5 s |
KEMET supplies capacitors with the C0G (NP0), X7R, X5R, Z5U and Y5V temperature characteristics.
They are available in tape‑and‑reel packaging compatible with automatic placement equipment, and also in bulk cassette packaging for 0402, 0603 and 0805 sizes.
Store them at temperatures not exceeding 40 °C and humidity not exceeding 70 % RH, and avoid chlorine or sulfur‑bearing atmospheres.
