Radial Through-Hole Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors
Goldmax, 300, Radial, Conformally Coated,
X8L Dielectric, 25 – 50 VDC
(Commercial and Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Goldmax conformally coated radial through-hole
ceramic capacitors in X8L dielectric feature a +150°C
maximum operating temperature and is considered "general
purpose high temperature". These components are fixed,
ceramic dielectric capacitors that are 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.
In addition to commercial grade, automotive grade devices
are available and meet the demanding Automotive Electronics
Council's AEC–Q200 qualification requirements.
These devices meet the flame test requirements outlined in UL
Standard 94V–0.

Automotive C-Spec Information
KEMET Automotive Grade products meet or exceed the requirements outlined by the Automotive Electronics Council. The
details regarding test methods and conditions are referenced in the 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, “9170.”
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
