Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Capacitor Array, X7R Dielectric, 10 – 200 VDC
(Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Ceramic Chip Capacitor Array in X7R dielectric is
an advanced passive technology where multiple capacitor
elements are integrated into one common monolithic
structure. Array technology promotes reduced placement
costs and increased throughput. This is achieved by
alternatively placing one device rather than two or four
discrete devices. Use of capacitor arrays also saves board
space, which translates into increased board density and
more functions per board. Arrays consume only a portion
of the space required for standard chips resulting in
savings in inventory and pick/place machine positions.
For added reliability, KEMET's Flexible Termination
technology has been incorporated in order to provides
superior flex performance. This technology was developed
to address flex cracks, which are the primary failure mode
of MLCCs and typically the result of excessive tensile
and shear stresses produced during board flexure and
thermal cycling. Flexible Termination technology inhibits
the transfer of board stress to the rigid body of the MLCC,
therefore mitigating flex cracks which can result in low IR
or short circuit failures.
KEMET’s X7R dielectric features a 125°C maximum operating
temperature and is considered “temperature stable.”
The Electronics Industries Alliance (EIA) characterizes
X7R dielectric as a Class II material. Components of this
classification are fixed, ceramic dielectric capacitors suited
for bypass and decoupling applications, or for frequency
discriminating circuits where Q and stability of capacitance
characteristics are not critical. X7R exhibits a predictable
change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage and
boasts a minimal change in capacitance with reference to
ambient temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±15%
from −55°C to +125°C.
KEMET automotive grade array capacitors meet the
demanding Automotive Electronics Council's AEC-Q200
qualification requirements.

Automotive C-Spec Information
KEMET automotive grade products meet or exceed the requirements outlined by the Automotive Electronics Council.
Details regarding test methods and conditions are referenced in 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, “AUTO.”
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 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

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 records 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.

(Rated voltage applied for 120 ±5 seconds at 25°C)
Regarding Aging Rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 1,000 hours.
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.
3
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1 kHz ±50Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤ 10 µF
120 Hz ±10Hz and 0.5 ±0.1 Vrms if capacitance > 10 µF
4
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 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known
as Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."

Soldering Process
Recommended Soldering Technique:
• Solder reflow only
Recommended Reflow Soldering Profile:
KEMET’s families of surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors (SMD MLCCs) are compatible with wave (single or dual),
convection, IR or vapor phase reflow techniques. Preheating of these components is recommended to avoid extreme thermal
stress. KEMET’s recommended profile conditions for convection and IR reflow reflect the profile conditions of the IPC/
J-STD-020 standard for moisture sensitivity testing. These devices can safely withstand a maximum of three reflow passes
at these conditions.

Storage & Handling
Ceramic chip capacitors should be stored in normal working environments. While the chips themselves are quite robust in
other environments, solderability will be degraded by exposure to high temperatures, high humidity, corrosive atmospheres,
and long term storage. In addition, packaging materials will be degraded by high temperature – reels may soften or warp
and tape peel force may increase. KEMET recommends that maximum storage temperature not exceed 40ºC and maximum
storage humidity not exceed 70% relative humidity. Temperature fluctuations should be minimized to avoid condensation on
the parts and atmospheres should be free of chlorine and sulfur bearing compounds. For optimized solderability chip stock
should be used promptly, preferably within 1.5 years of receipt.

Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Capacitor Array, X7R Dielectric, 10 – 200 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Capacitor Marking (Optional)
These surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors are
normally supplied unmarked. If required, they can be
marked as an extra cost option. Marking is available
on most KEMET devices, but must be requested using
the correct ordering code identifier(s). If this option is
requested, two sides of the ceramic body will be laser
marked with a “K” to identify KEMET, followed by two
characters (per EIA–198 - see table below) to identify the
capacitance value. EIA 0603 case size devices are limited
to the “K” character only.
Marking appears in legible contrast. Illustrated below
is an example of an MLCC with laser marking of “KA8”,
which designates a KEMET device with rated capacitance
of 100 µF. Orientation of marking is vendor optional.

Benefits of Changing from 4 mm to 2 mm Pitching Spacing
• Lower placement costs.
• Double the parts on each reel results in fewer reel
changes and increased efficiency.
• Fewer reels result in lower packaging, shipping and
storage costs, reducing waste.

1. The embossment hole location shall be measured from the sprocket hole controlling the location of the embossment. Dimensions of the embossment
location and the hole location shall be applied independently of each other.
2. The tape with or without components shall pass around R without damage (see Figure 6.)
3. If S1 < 1.0 mm, there may not be enough area for a cover tape to be properly applied (see EIA Standard 481, paragraph 4.3, section b.)
4. B1 dimension is a reference dimension for tape feeder clearance only.
5. The cavity defined by A0, B0 and K0 shall surround the component with sufficient clearance that:
(a) the component does not protrude above the top surface of the carrier tape.
(b) the component can be removed from the cavity in a vertical direction without mechanical restriction, after the top cover tape has been
removed.
(c) rotation of the component is limited to 20° maximum for 8 and 12 mm tapes and 10° maximum for 16 mm tapes (see Figure 3.)
(d) lateral movement of the component is restricted to 0.5 mm maximum for 8 and 12 mm wide tape and to 1.0 mm maximum for 16 mm tape
(see Figure 4.)
(e) for KPS product, A0 and B0 are measured on a plane 0.3 mm above the bottom of the pocket.
(f) see addendum in EIA Standard 481 for standards relating to more precise taping requirements.
