Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
High Temperature 150°C, X8L Dielectric, 10 – 50 VDC
(Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s X8L dielectric features a 150°C maximum
operating temperature and is considered “general
purpose high temperature.” These components are
fixed, ceramic dielectric capacitors suited for high
temperature bypass and decoupling applications or
frequency discriminating circuits where Q and stability of
capacitance characteristics are not critical. X8L exhibits a
predictable change in capacitance with respect to time and
voltage and boasts a minimal change in capacitance with
reference to ambient temperature up to 125°C. Beyond
125°C X8L displays a wider variation in capacitance.
Capacitance change is limited to ±15% from −55°C to
+125°C and +15, −40% from 125°C to 150°C.
Driven by the demand for a more robust and reliable
component, X8L dielectric capacitors were developed for
critical applications where reliability at higher operating
temperatures are a concern. These capacitors are widely
used in automotive circuits as well as general high
temperature applications. Concerned with flex cracks
resulting from excessive tensile and shear stresses
produced during board flexure and thermal cycling?
These devices are available with KEMET's Flexible
termination technology which inhibits the transfer of board
stress to the rigid ceramic body, therefore mitigating flex
cracks which can result in low IR or short circuit failures.
Although flexible termination technology does not eliminate
the potential for mechanical damage that may propagate
during extreme environmental and handling conditions,
it does provide superior flex performance over standard
termination systems.
In addition to commercial grade, automotive grade
devices are available and 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’s 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 record 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.
3
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1kHz ± 50Hz and 1.0 ± 0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤10µF
120Hz ± 10Hz and 0.5 ± 0.1 Vrms if capacitance >10µF
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".
