X7R Dielectric
General Specifications
X7R formulations are called “temperature stable” ceramics
and fall into EIA Class II materials. X7R is the most popular
of these intermediate dielectric constant materials. Its tem-
perature variation of capacitance is within ±15% from
-55°C to +125°C. This capacitance change is non-linear.
Capacitance for X7R varies under the influence of electrical
operating conditions such as voltage and frequency.
X7R dielectric chip usage covers the broad spectrum of
industrial applications where known changes in capaci-
tance due to applied voltages are acceptable.

High Voltage Chips
For 500V to 5000V Applications
High value, low leakage and small size are difficult parameters to obtain
in capacitors for high voltage systems. AVX special high voltage MLC
chips capacitors meet these performance characteristics and are
designed for applications such as snubbers in high frequency power
converters, resonators in SMPS, and high voltage coupling/DC blocking.
These high voltage chip designs exhibit low ESRs at high frequencies.
Larger physical sizes than normally encountered chips are used to
make high voltage chips. These larger sizes require that special pre-
cautions be taken in applying these chips in surface mount assem-
blies. This is due to differences in the coefficient of thermal expansion
(CTE) between the substrate materials and chip capacitors. Apply heat
at less than 4°C per second during the preheat. Maximum preheat
temperature must be within 50°C of the soldering temperature.
The solder temperature should not exceed 230°C. Chips 1808 and
larger to use reflow soldering only.
Capacitors with X7R Dielectrics are not intended for AC line filtering
applications.
Contact plant for recommendations. Capacitors may require protective
surface coating to prevent external arcing.
