Knowles Precision Devices Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor With Radial Leads X8R

RoHS compliant interconnects, small case size, Radial Leaded capacitors available in C0G/NP0, X7R and X8R dielectrics. The conformal coating and lead mounting style provide a rugged configuration for optimum performance. Units exhibit high capacitance efficiency per kV rating and find application in commercial/industrial use up to 5kV, such as power supplies and voltage multiplier circuits. They are offered in bulk pack or taped form, Ref EIA-RS468, making them suitable for automatic insertion.

The X8R dielectric will operate from -55°C to +150°C, with a maximum capacitance change ±15% (without applied voltage).

The devices are available in sizes 0805 to 2225, with voltage ranges from 25V to 3kV and capacitance values from 100pF to 2.2µF.

The capacitors have been developed by Knowles to meet demand from various applications in the automotive and industrial markets and in other electronic equipment exposed to high temperatures. The increased use of electronics in automotive “under the hood” applications has created demand for this product range.

The X8R range incorporates a specially formulated termination with a nickel barrier finish that has been designed to enhance the mechanical performance of these SMD chip capacitors in harsh environments typically present in automotive applications.
