Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
KPS "L", SnPb Termination, X7R Dielectric,
10 – 250 VDC (Commercial Grade)
Overview
KEMET Power Solutions (KPS) Commercial "L" with Tin/
Lead Termination stacked capacitors utilize a proprietary
lead-frame technology to vertically stack one or two
multilayer ceramic chip capacitors into a single compact
surface mount package. The attached lead-frame
mechanically isolates the capacitor's from the printed
circuit board, therefore offering advanced mechanical
and thermal stress performance. Isolation also addresses
concerns for audible, microphonic noise that may occur
when a bias voltage is applied. A two chip stack offers
up to double the capacitance in the same or smaller
design footprint when compared to traditional surface
mount MLCC devices. Providing up to 10 mm of board
flex capability, KEMET’s tin/lead electroplating process is
designed to meet a 5% minimum lead content and address
concerns for a more robust and reliable lead containing
termination system. As the bulk of the electronics industry
moves towards RoHS compliance, KEMET continues to
provide tin/lead terminated products for military, aerospace
and industrial applications and will ensure customers have a
stable and long-term source of supply. These devices provide
lower ESR, ESL and higher ripple current capability when
compared to other dielectric solutions.
Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric, KEMET’s
KPS devices exhibit a predictable change in capacitance
with respect to time and voltage and boast a minimal change
in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature.
Capacitance change is limited to ±15% from −55°C to
+125°C.

Regarding Aging Rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 48 or 1,000 hours. Please refer to a part
number specific datasheet for referee time details.

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:
1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 V
rms
if capacitance ≤ 10 µF
120 Hz ±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 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known
as Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."
