Radial Through-Hole Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors
Goldmax, 300 Series, Radial, Conformally Coated,
Ultra-Stable X8R Dielectric, 25 – 200 VDC
(Commercial and Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Goldmax conformally coated radial through-hole
ceramic capacitors, in ultra-stable X8R dielectric feature a
+150°C maximum operating temperature, offering the latest
in high temperature dielectric technology and reliability
for extreme temperature applications. It offers the same
temperature capability as conventional X8R, but without the
capacitance loss due to applied DC voltage. Ultra-stable X8R
exhibits no change in capacitance with respect to voltage
and boasts a minimal change in capacitance, with reference
to ambient temperature. It is suitable replacement for higher
capacitance and larger footprint devices that fail to offer
capacitance stability. Capacitance change with respect to
temperature is limited to ±15% from −55°C to +150°C. Driven
by the demand for a more robust and reliable component,
ultra-stable X8R dielectric Goldmax though-hole capacitors
were developed for critical applications where reliability and
capacitance stability 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
