Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
C0G Dielectric, 10 – 250 VDC (Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Automotive Grade Series surface mount
capacitors in C0G 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.
C0G dielectric features a 125°C maximum operating
temperature and is considered “stable.” The Electronics
Industries Alliance (EIA) characterizes C0G dielectric as
a Class I material. Components of this classification are
temperature compensating and are suited for resonant circuit
applications or those where Q and stability of capacitance
characteristics are required. C0G exhibits no change in
capacitance with respect to time and voltage and boasts a
negligible change in capacitance with reference to ambient
temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±30 ppm/ºC
from −55°C to +125°C.

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 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 records 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) Limit at 25°C
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.
2
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1 MHz ±100 kHz and 1.0 Vrms ±0.2 V if capacitance ≤ 1,000 pF
1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 Vrms ±0.2 V if capacitance > 1,000 pF
3
To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.
Capacitance and Dissipation Factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known
as Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."
