Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Capacitor Array, X7R Dielectric, 10 – 200 VDC
(Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Ceramic Chip Capacitor Array in X7R dielectric is
an advanced passive technology where multiple capacitor
elements are integrated into one common monolithic
structure. Array technology promotes reduced placement
costs and increased throughput. This is achieved by
alternatively placing one device rather than two or four
discrete devices. Use of capacitor arrays also saves board
space, which translates into increased board density and
more functions per board. Arrays consume only a portion
of the space required for standard chips resulting in
savings in inventory and pick/place machine positions.
For added reliability, KEMET's Flexible Termination
technology has been incorporated in order to provides
superior flex performance. This technology was developed
to address flex cracks, which are the primary failure mode
of MLCCs and typically the result of excessive tensile
and shear stresses produced during board flexure and
thermal cycling. Flexible Termination technology inhibits
the transfer of board stress to the rigid body of the MLCC,
therefore mitigating flex cracks which can result in low IR
or short circuit failures.
KEMET’s X7R dielectric features a 125°C maximum operating
temperature and is considered “temperature stable.”
The Electronics Industries Alliance (EIA) characterizes
X7R dielectric as a Class II material. Components of this
classification are fixed, ceramic dielectric capacitors suited
for bypass and decoupling applications, or for frequency
discriminating circuits where Q and stability of capacitance
characteristics are not critical. X7R exhibits a predictable
change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage and
boasts a minimal change in capacitance with reference to
ambient temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±15%
from −55°C to +125°C.
KEMET automotive grade array capacitors meet the
demanding Automotive Electronics Council's AEC-Q200
qualification requirements.

Default packaging is "Bulk Bag". An ordering code C-Spec is not required for "Bulk Bag" packaging.
The terms "Marked" and "Unmarked" pertain to laser marking option of capacitors. All packaging options labeled as "Unmarked" will contain capacitors
that have not been laser marked. The option to laser mark is not available on these devices. For more information see "Capacitor Marking."

Automotive C-Spec Information
KEMET Automotive Grade products meet or exceed the requirements outlined by the Automotive Electronics Council.
Details regarding test methods and conditions are referenced in document AEC–Q200, Stress Test Qualification for Passive
Components. These products are supported by a Product Change Notification (PCN) and Production Part Approval Process
warrant (PPAP).
Automotive products offered through our distribution channel have been assigned an inclusive ordering code C-Spec, “AUTO.”
This C-Spec was developed in order to better serve small and medium-sized companies that prefer an automotive grade
component without the requirement to submit a customer Source Controlled Drawing (SCD) or specification for review by a
KEMET engineering specialist. This C-Spec is therefore not intended for use by KEMET’s OEM Automotive customers and are
not granted the same “privileges” as other automotive C-Specs. Customer PCN approval and PPAP request levels are limited
(see details below).
Product Change Notification (PCN)
The KEMET Product Change Notification system is used to communicate primarily the following types of changes:
• Product/process changes that affect product form, fit, function, and/or reliability
• Changes in manufacturing site
• Product obsolescence

KEMET assigned C-Specs require the submittal of a customer SCD or customer specification for review. For additional information contact KEMET.
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
The purpose of the Production Part Approval Process is:
• To ensure that supplier can meet the manufacturability and quality requirements for the purchased parts.
• To provide the evidence that all customer engineering design record and specification requirements are properly
understood and fulfilled by the manufacturing organization.
• To demonstrate that the established manufacturing process has the potential to produce the part.

Regarding Aging Rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 1,000 hours.
DWV is the voltage a capacitor can withstand (survive) for a short period of time. It exceeds the nominal and continuous working voltage of the
capacitor.

Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1 kHz ±50Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 V
rms
if capacitance ≤ 10 µF
120 Hz ±10Hz and 0.5 ±0.1 V
rms
if capacitance > 10 µF
4
To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.
Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known
as Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."
