The Kemet C series commercial grade multilayer ceramic chip capacitors is Class 2, X7R 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 decoupling, bypass, filtering and transient voltage suppression. 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.
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.
The 1206YC106KAT2A is a Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor with Ni/Sn-plated termination, X7R dielectric and 1206 case. A multilayer ceramic (MLC) capacitor is a monolithic block of ceramic containing two sets of offset, interleaved planar electrodes that extend to two opposite surfaces of the ceramic dielectric. X7R formulations are called temperature stable ceramics and fall into EIA class II materials. X7R is the most popular of these intermediate dielectric constant materials. This capacitance change is non-linear. Capacitance for X7R varies under the influence of electrical operating conditions such as voltage and frequency. X7R dielectric chip usage covers the broad spectrum of industrial applications where known changes in capacitance due to applied voltages are acceptable.
