Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
High Voltage X7R Dielectric, 500 – 3,000 VDC
(Automotive Grade)
Overview
The KEMET Automotive Grade High Voltage surface
mount MLCCs in X7R dielectric feature a 125°C
maximum operating temperature and are 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.
Available in a variety of case sizes and industry leading
CV values (capacitance/voltage), these devices exhibit
low leakage current and low ESR at high frequencies.
Conventional uses include both snubbers and filters
in applications such as switching power supplies and
lighting ballasts. Their exceptional performance at high
frequencies has made high voltage MLCC's the preferred
dielectric choice of design engineers worldwide. In
addition to their use in power supplies, these capacitors
are widely used in industries related to automotive
(hybrid), telecommunications, medical, military, aerospace,
semiconductors and test/diagnostic equipment.
Whether underhood or in-cabin, these capacitors are
designed to provide reliable performance in 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.

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

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) 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.

Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 V
rms
if capacitance ≤ 10 µF
12 0Hz ±10 Hz and 0.5 ±0.1 V
rms
if capacitance > 10 µF
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."
