KEMET’s 300 Series High Voltage Goldmax conformally coated
radial leaded ceramic capacitors in X7R dielectric feature a
125°C maximum operating temperature. The Electronics Indus-
tries Alliance (EIA) characterizes X7R dielectric as a Class II
"temperature stable" 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 ca-
pacitance with reference to ambient temperature. Capacitance
change is limited to ±15% from -55°C to +125°C.
These devices offer low leakage current, exhibit low ESR at high
frequencies and find conventional use as snubbers or filters in
applications such as switching power supplies and in lighting
ballasts. Their exceptional performance at high frequencies has
made them a preferred choice of design engineers worldwide. In
addition to their use in power supplies, these capacitors are widely
used in industries related to telecommunications, medical, military,
aerospace, semiconductor and test/diagnostic equipment

Parameters/Characteristics
Regarding aging rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 1,000 hours.
To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1 MHz ±100 kHz and 1.0 V
rms
±0.2 V if capacitance ≤ 1,000 pF
1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 V
rms
±0.2 V if capacitance > 1,000 pF
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."
