STANDARD
CERAMIC CAPACITORS
General Information
Taping : dimensions NPO/COG (Class 1)
COMPOSITION
NPO capacitors are produced by using a dielectric made of titanium dioxide
(Ti O
2
) modified by magnesium oxide Mg O (white ceramics) or a rare earth
oxide, e.g. Nd
2
O
3
(other NPO ceramics).
As a consequence, these ceramics are non ferro-electric materials with a low
dielectric constant (
ε
r ≤ 110).
Other additives are used to dope the dielectric constant up to 300. Though der-
ogating from CG class, doped dielectric constant features a linear temperature
drift and a matchless stability compared with class 2 ceramics.
The wide range of possible NPO dielectric compositions enables to use the ma-
terial best suited to the application :
• standard applications,
• high voltage,
• high temperature,
• microwave,
• power capacitors.
«Temperature coefficient» compositions are particularly suitable for imped-
ance matching. These ceramics usually enable to achieve temperature coef-
ficients from 0 to –1 000 ppm/°C. For specific requirements, other coefficients
can be achieved (e.g. –3 300 ppm/°C).

STABILITY
As
ε
r is low, these dielectrics are extremely stable with only minor changes
under such stresses as :
• temperature,
• voltage,
• frequency.
In addition, they are not affected by piezo-electric phenomena and their dielec-
tric absorption coefficients are low and even non measurable for dielectrics
with the lowest constants.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Class 1 ceramics are the perfect match for metallic electrodes made of Pd or
Ag-Pd alloy and have a high hardness and mechanical toughness making them
resistant to thermal shocks (wave soldering for instance) and to thermal cy-
cling after mounting on substrates having an expansion coefficient close to
the capacitor one.
Ceramic chips meet CECC 32100 and NF C 93133 standards.
CLIMATIC CATEGORIES
Climatic categories are identified by three-digit codes as per NF C 20700 stan-
dard. Coding method is described in table 6.
e.g. : – 55°C + 125°C / 56 days category is identified by code 434.

CERAMIC CAPACITORS
General Information
Taping : dimensions X7R (Class 2)
COMPOSITION
Class 2 capacitors are produced by using a dielectric made of barium titanate
(Ba Ti O
3
). By nature, the dielectric is a ferroelectric compound with a high di-
electric constant usually varying :
• from 1 000 to 5 000 - typical of capacitors meeting 2C1 type specifica-
tions (BX, X7R),
• from 5 000 to 15 000 - typical of capacitors meeting Z5U or Y5V type
specifications.
Depending on whether the dielectric contains a flux additive, mainly bismuth
or boron, electrodes are made of Ag-Pd alloys with high silver content or high
palladium content, even pure palladium in some cases.

STABILITY
As the dielectric is a ferro-electric material, class 2 capacitors present signifi-
cant variations under such stresses as :
• temperature,
• voltage,
• frequency.
In addition, the dielectric absorption coefficient can reach a few % and
piezo-electric phenomena can affect the dielectric at critical frequencies (full
information and specific documents available on request).

Temperature range

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Class 2 dielectrics are hard materials and are sensitive to thermo-mechanical
stress. Stress should be limited when mounting and adequate substrates with
an adapted expansion coefficient used.
BISMUTH OR BISMUTH FREE DIELECTRICS
Class 2 capacitors are made of ceramics capable to embed a flux element (e.g.
bismuth or boron salt).Their eventual use will affect the choice of electrode
alloys firing temperature used. Capacitor behavior under such constraints as
temperature, voltage, frequency and even reliability, in some applications (fur-
ther information available on request), is also different.
That is why French and European standard authorities have decided to
differentiate bismuth from bismuth free ceramics by measuring tangent
d
at
–55°C. Tangent Tg

Flux free dielectrics are identified by suffix «A» after capacitor type (e.g.
