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.

Parameters/Characteristics
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:
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
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."
