Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors provide extremely low ESR.

Press Release Summary:




Supplied in 0505 case size, Ultra HiQ-CBR Squared MLCCs provide 250 Vdc rating, capacitance values up to 100 pF, and typical ESR (10 pF at 1 GHz) of <0.068. C0G dielectric features stable copper base metal electrode system, while square size results in higher self-resonant frequency compared to standard EIA case sizes. Capacitors are suited for high power applications such as RF and power amplifier modules, medical electronics, and wireless, satellite, and microwave communications.

KEMET Introduces Ultra Hi-Q Radio Frequency Capacitors



New 0505 Case Size Provides the Lowest ESR for Demanding High Power Applications



KEMET, a leading global supplier of electronic components, today announced the expansion of its radio frequency (RF) and microwave product portfolio to include a new series of Ultra HiQ-CBR Squared Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors. These new devices feature a geometrically square construction resulting in lower inductance than standard EIA case sizes, thus improving low loss performance and operation at higher resonant frequencies.



Ultra HiQ-CBR Squared MLCC capacitors are ideal for high power applications such as wireless, satellite and microwave communications, RF and power amplifier modules and medical electronics.



“These new Ultra HiQ-CBR Squared MLCCs broaden KEMET’s RF and microwave component offerings by providing extremely low ESR under 100 pF and ultra-high Q to meet the needs of high power solutions,” said Mark Laps, Ceramic Specialty Technical Product Manager. “The C0G dielectric features a robust and exceptionally stable copper electrode base metal electrode system, while the square size results in higher self-resonant frequency as compared to standard EIA case sizes.”



Ultra HiQ-CBR Squared Capacitors are 250 VDC rated and are available in capacitance values up to 100 pF. KEMET is also expanding the existing HiQ-CBR product portfolio to include 200 VDC rated RF and microwave capacitors in EIA 0402 case size as well as extended capacitance offerings in EIA 0603 case size.
