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.
The Murata GRM series capacitors are Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (MLCC) used for general purpose applications. These MLCC capacitors are classified into temperature compensating and high dielectric constant types depending on the change in electrostatic capacitance due to change in temperature. The temperature compensating capacitors feature a small rate of change in electrostatic capacitance as the temperature changes and are used for applications such as filters and high frequency circuit matching. The high dielectric constant capacitors use materials with a high dielectric constant and feature a large electrostatic capacitance. Typical applications are power supply decoupling and smoothing circuits.
The AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors with EIA class II, X7R dielectric material are temperature stable ceramic chip capacitors. 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. Capacitance for X7R dielectric varies under influence of electrical operating conditions such as voltage and frequency. X7R dielectric chip usage covers broad spectrum of industrial applications where known changes in capacitance due to applied voltages are acceptable.
