Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (SMD MLCCs) for High Power Application
CBR Series, C0G Dielectric, Ultra High Q, Low ESR,
6.3VDC-250VDC (RF & Microwave)
Preliminary
Overview
KEMET’s CBR series surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors
(MLCCs) in C0G dielectric feature a robust and exceptionally
stable base metal electrode dielectric system that provides
excellent low loss performance (High Q). These devices offer
extremely low ESR and high self-resonance characteristics, and
are well suited for resonant circuit applications or those where
Q and stability of capacitance characteristics are required. CRF
series capacitors exhibits no change in capacitance with respect
to time and voltage and boasts a negligible change in capacitance
with reference to ambient temperature. Capacitance change is
limited to ±30ppm/ºC from -55°C to +125°C.
CBR series devices are are suitable for many circuit applications
including RF power amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, low noise
amplifiers, filter networks, antenna tuning, timing circuits, delay
lines and MRI imaging coils.

Density Level A:
For low-density product applications. Recommended for wave solder applications and provides a wider process window for reflow solder
processes. KEMET only recommends wave soldering of 0603(1608) and 0805(2012) case sizes.
Density Level B:
For products with a moderate level of component density. Provides a robust solder attachment condition for reflow solder processes.
Density Level C:
For high component density product applications. Before adapting the minimum land pattern variations the user should perform qualification
testing based on the conditions outlined in IPC standard 7351 (IPC-7351).
Storage and Handling
Ceramic chip capacitors should be stored in normal working environments. While the chips themselves are quite robust in other
environments, solderability will be degraded by exposure to high temperatures, high humidity, corrosive atmospheres, and long term
storage. In addition, packaging materials will be degraded by high temperature – reels may soften or warp, and tape peel force may
increase. KEMET recommends that maximum storage temperature not exceed 40 degrees C, and maximum storage humidity not
exceed 70% relative humidity. In addition, temperature fluctuations should be minimized to avoid condensation on the parts, and
atmospheres should be free of chlorine and sulfur bearing compounds. For optimized solderability, chip stock should be used promptly,
preferably within 1.5 years of receipt.
