The Kemet C series commercial grade multilayer ceramic chip capacitor is X8L dielectric material which exhibits predictable change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage. There will be minimal change in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature up to 125°C. Beyond 125°C, there will be wide variation in capacitance. X8L dielectric capacitors were developed for decoupling, bypass, filtering and critical applications where reliability at higher operating temperatures is concern. Standard end terminations use a nickel barrier layer and a matte tin finish to provide excellent soldering ability for customers. MLCCs are monolithic devices that consist of laminated layers of specially formulated, ceramic dielectric materials interspersed with a metal electrode system. The layered formation is then fired at high temperature to produce a sintered and volumetrically efficient capacitance device. A conductive termination is integrated on the chip for connection.
