This file is the product manual of Kemet Electronics Corporation's multilayer ceramic capacitors, which introduces the features and characteristics of the products.
The document describes Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC) with axial and radial leads that are epoxy encapsulated. These components feature a monolithic block structure created by firing thin layers of formulated dielectric materials interspersed with metal electrodes at high temperatures.
Specifically, this section covers the C617 series for Radial High Voltage applications. It provides performance characteristics including working voltages (50V to 3kV), temperature coefficients (C0G: ±30ppm/°C, X7R: ±15%, Z5U: +22%/-56%), and construction details such as lead material (matte tin with nickel underplate) and compliance with EIA RS-198 standards.
| Temperature Range (C0G) | -55°C to +125°C |
|---|---|
| Capacitance Change (X7R) | ± 15% |
| Dielectric Strength | 2.5 times rated DC voltage |
| Lead Material | 100% matte tin (Sn) with nickel (Ni) underplate and steel core |
| Solder Temperature | 230°C ±5°C |
C0G capacitors have a temperature coefficient of 0 ± 30 ppm per degree C over an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
X7R capacitors exhibit a maximum capacitance change of ± 15% over an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
