X8R Dielectric
General Specifications
AVX have developed a range of multilayer ceramic capacitors designed for use in applications up to
150ºC. These capacitors are manufactured with an X8R dielectric material which has a capacitance
variation of ±15% between -55ºC and +150ºC.
The need for X8R performance has been driven by customer requirements for parts that operate at
elevated temperatures. They provide a highly reliable capacitor with low loss and stable capacitance
over temperature.
They are ideal for automotive under the hood sensors, measure while drilling and log while drilling.
Typical applications include wire line logging tools such as gamma ray receivers, acoustic trans-
ceivers and micro-resistivity tools. They can also be used as bulk capacitors for high temperature
camera modules.
X8R capacitors are available as standard and Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified parts. Optional termi-
nation systems, tin, FLEXITERM
TM
and conductive epoxy for hybrid applications are available.
Providing this series with our FLEXITERM
TM
termination system provides further advantage to cus-
tomers by way of enhanced resistance to both, temperature cycling and mechanical damage.
