Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) for Higher Reliability
Applications, C0G Dielectric, 10 – 250 VDC
Overview
KEMET’s COTS program is an extension of KEMET knowledge of
high reliability test regimes and requirements. KEMET regularly
supplies “up-screened” products by working with customer
drawings and imposing specified design and test requirements.
The COTS program offers the same high quality and high
reliability components as up-screened products, but at a lower
cost to the customer. This is accomplished by eliminating the
need for customer-specific drawings to achieve the reliability
level required for customer applications. A series of tests and
inspections have been selected to provide the accelerated
conditioning and 100% screening necessary to eliminate infant
mortal failures from the population.
KEMET’s C0G dielectric features a 125°C maximum operating
temperature and is considered “stable.” The Electronics
Components, Assemblies & Materials Association (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.
All COTS testing includes voltage conditioning and post-
electrical testing as per MIL–PRF–55681. For enhanced
reliability, KEMET also provides the following test level options

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."
