The new KGP Series commercial-grade stacked capacitors from KYOCERA AVX are designed for high-frequency uses in the downhole oil and gas and industrial sectors.
The New Commercial-Grade KGP Series Stacked Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) Deliver:
- Higher capacitance values in the same mounting area as traditional capacitors,
- Support the enduring miniaturization megatrend and are manufactured without lead or cadmium,
- To support the thriving sustainability megatrend and ease standards compliance.
- Exhibits low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL) to minimize noise and optimize performance,
- Feature metal lead frames that reliably suppress both thermal and mechanical stress to ensure stability and durability.
KGP Series stacked MLCCs are currently available in five EIA case sizes (1210, 1812, 1825, 2220, and 2225) with two stack sizes, maximum thicknesses spanning 3.40mm to 6.95mm, and “J” or “L” leads.
They are also available in three dielectrics (C0G, X7R, and X7T). The series is rated for operating voltages spanning 50V to 1,500V, capacitance values ranging from 10nF to 47µF ±10% or 20% capacitance tolerance, and operating temperatures extending from -55°C to +125°C.
To guarantee optimal performance in a variety of demanding high-frequency applications, every component is rigorously tested for visual characteristics, capacitance values, dissipation factor, temperature coefficient, insulation resistance, dielectric strength, temperature cycling, steady state and load humidity, high temperature load, termination strength, bending, vibration resistance, and soldering heat resistance.
Additionally, they are RoHS compliant and come in 500–1,500 unit sizes on tape and reel for automated deployment.
Key Applications
Ideal applications for the series extend throughout the industrial, alternative energy, and downhole oil and gas industries and include power supplies, DC/DC converters, control circuits, high voltage coupling, and DC blocking.
All five EIA case sizes are available for KGP Series stacked MLCCs with C0G and X7R dielectrics, which have capacitance values up to 220nF and 47µF, respectively, and the entire range of rated voltage values.
Three EIA case sizes (1210, 1812, and 2220) with X7T dielectrics are offered, along with three rated voltages (250V, 450V, and 630V) and capacitance values up to 4.7?F.
Leadership Comments
“The new KGP Series stacked MLCCs further expand our proven portfolio of capacitor solutions optimized for growing markets with challenging performance requirements, including the power supply and downhole drilling markets,” said Zack Kozawa, Director of MLCC Product Marketing at KYOCERA AVX. “They also support the miniaturization and sustainability megatrends affecting these and other market segments.”
