Introduction to Syfer Technology
Contents
First in the market with flexible polymer
terminations - the revolutionary FlexiCap™
capacitors - our capacitor range also includes X8R
high temperature types, High Q capacitors and
other application specific types. Our renowned high
voltage MLCC expertise has led to the development
of an impressive range with working voltage
capability up to 10kV. This includes surface mount
Class ‘X’ and ‘Y’ approved Safety Certified capacitors,
0603 chips with working voltages up to 500V, and
0805 types up to 1kV.
As part of the Dover Ceramic & Microwave Products
group (CMP), we are able to offer unrivalled product
quality with short lead-times, backed up by excellent
sales and technical support. With a commitment
to product innovation, new ranges are continually
being developed.
Our experienced applications engineers are also
available to provide custom solutions for specific
applications. This catalogue details the standard
ranges but we can provide items such as tight
tolerance, low profile and non standard sizes on
request. Flexibility is key, not only in design but in
all aspects of customer service and support.
Our quality management systems meet
international requirements, with approval to
IS0 9001, environmental approval to IS0 14001
and Occupational Health and Safety approval to
OHSAS 18001. Product approvals include, IECQ-
CECC, UL, TÜV and qualification to AEC-Q200.
SPC is used extensively, supported by Continuous
Improvement Programmes, 6 Sigma projects and
Lean Manufacturing initiatives.

Capacitors of this type have a dielectric constant range
of 1000-4000, and also have a non-linear temperature
characteristic which exhibits a dielectric constant variation
of less than ±15% (2R1) from its room temperature value,
over the specified temperature range. Generally used for
by-passing (decoupling), coupling, filtering, frequency
discrimination, DC blocking and voltage transient suppression
with greater volumetric efficiency than Class l units, whilst
maintaining stability within defined limits.

Ageing
Capacitor ageing is a term used to describe the negative,
logarithmic capacitance change which takes place in ceramic
capacitors with time. The crystalline structure for barium
titanate based ceramics changes on passing through its Curie
temperature (known as the Curie Point) at about 125°C.
This domain structure relaxes with time and in doing so, the
dielectric constant reduces logarithmically; this is known as
the ageing mechanism of the dielectric constant. The more
stable dielectrics have the lowest ageing rates.
The ageing process is reversible and repeatable. Whenever
the capacitor is heated to a temperature above the Curie Point
the ageing process starts again from zero.
The ageing constant, or ageing rate, is defined as the
percentage loss of capacitance due to the ageing process of
the dielectric which occurs during a decade of time (a tenfold
increase in age) and is expressed as percent per logarithmic
decade of hours. As the law of decrease of capacitance is
logarithmic, this means that in a capacitor with an ageing rate
of 1% per decade of time, the capacitance will decrease at a
rate of:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
1% between 1 and 10 hours
An additional 1% between the following 10 and 100
hours
An additional 1% between the following 100 and 1000
hours
An additional 1% between the following 1000 and 10000
hours etc
The ageing rate continues in this manner throughout the
capacitor’s life.
Capacitance measurements
Because of ageing it is necessary to specify an age for
reference measurements at which the capacitance shall be
within the prescribed tolerance. This is fixed at 1000 hours,
since for practical purposes there is not much further loss of
capacitance after this time.
All capacitors shipped are within their specified tolerance at
the standard reference age of 1000 hours after having cooled
through their Curie temperature.
The ageing curve for any ceramic dielectric is a straight line
when plotted on semi-log paper.

Tight tolerance
One of the advantages of Syfer’s unique ‘wet process’ of
manufacture is the ability to offer capacitors with exceptionally
tight capacitance tolerances.
The accuracy of the printing screens used in the fully
automated, computer controlled manufacturing process allows
for tolerance as close as +/-1% on C0G/NP0 parts greater
than or equal to 10pF. For capacitance values below 10pF,
tolerances can be as tight as +/-0.05pF.
