Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
X7R Dielectric, 6.3 – 250 VDC (Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Automotive Grade Series surface mount
capacitors in X7R dielectric are suited for a variety of
applications requiring proven, reliable performance in
harsh environments. Whether under-hood or in-cabin, these
devices emphasize the vital and robust nature of capacitors
required for mission and safety critical automotive circuits.
Stricter testing protocol and inspection criteria have been
established for automotive grade products in recognition
of potentially harsh environmental conditions. KEMET
automotive grade series capacitors meet the demanding
Automotive Electronics Council's AEC–Q200 qualification
requirements.
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.

Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs) – X7R Dielectric, 6.3 – 250 VDC (Automotive Grade)
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

Insulation Resistance (IR) Minimum Limit at 25°C
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.
3
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1kHz ± 50Hz and 1.0 ± 0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤10µF
120Hz ± 10Hz and 0.5 ± 0.1 Vrms if capacitance >10µF
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 & Agilent E4980 have a feature known as
Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON".
