The AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors with EIA class I, C0G (NP0) dielectric material are highly stable 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.
The Kemet C series commercial grade multilayer ceramic chip capacitors is Class 1, C0G dielectric material which exhibits no change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage. There will be negligible change in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature. Standard end terminations use a nickel barrier layer and a matte tin finish to provide excellent soldering ability for customers. Typical applications include timing, tuning, circuits requiring low loss, circuits with pulse, high current, decoupling, bypass, filtering, transient voltage suppression and energy storage. 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 barrier system is integrated on the exposed ends of the chip to complete the connection.
