The AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors with EIA class II, X5R dielectric material are high capacitance ceramic chip capacitors for general purpose applications. This multilayer ceramic capacitor is a monolithic block of ceramic containing two sets of offset, interleaved planar electrodes that extend to two opposite surfaces of ceramic dielectric. These capacitors are well suited for decoupling and filtering applications.
Ceramic chips consist of formulated ceramic dielectric materials which have been fabricated into thin layers, interspersed with metal electrodes alternately exposed on opposite edges of the laminated structure. The entire structure is then fired at high temperature to produce a monolithic block which provides high capacitance values in a small physical volume. After firing, conductive terminations are applied to opposite ends of the chip to make contact with the exposed electrodes. Kemet ceramic chip capacitors are offered in the five most popular temperature characteristics: C0G (NP0) ,X7R, X5R,Z5U & Y5V.
