Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (SMD MLCCs) for High Power Applications
HiQ-CBR Series, C0G Dielectric, Low ESR
6.3 – 500 VDC, 1 MHz – 50 GHz (RF & Microwave)
Overview
KEMET’s CBR Series surface mount multilayer ceramic
capacitors (MLCCs) in C0G dielectric feature a robust and
exceptionally stable copper electrode dielectric system
that offers excellent low loss performance (high Q). These
devices provide extremely low ESR and high self-resonance
characteristics, and are well-suited for resonant circuit
applications or those where Q and stability of capacitance
characteristics are required. CBR Series capacitors
exhibit no change in capacitance with respect to time and
voltage, and boast a negligible change in capacitance with
reference to ambient temperature. Capacitance change is
limited to ±30 ppm/ºC from −55°C to +125°C.
CBR Series devices are suitable for many circuit applications
including RF power amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, low noise
amplifiers, filter networks, antenna tuning, timing circuits,
delay lines, and MRI imaging coils.

When ordering CBR Series devices, a "suffix" or "C-Spec" is not required to indicate a 7" reel packaging option. CBR devices are only available and
shipped on 7" reels (paper tape). Bulk bag and cassette packaging options are not available. Please contact KEMET if you have a specific, non-standard
packaging requirement.

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.

Capacitance and quality factor (Q) measured at 1 MHz ±100 kHz and 1.0 ±0.2 Vrms.
3 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."
