Ceramic RF-Power Capacitors
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Ceramic RF-Power Capacitor can be defined as an electrical device consisting of a ceramic dielectric with conductive
noble-metal electrodes, terminations and a protective coating. The spectrum of capacitance values extends from the lower
picofarad range up to the nanofarad range. The rated voltages range from 636 V (peak) up to 40,000 V (peak). Typical
frequencies of application range from 20KHz to 100MHz. These capacitors can be operated with DC and AC voltage both
individually and in combination. The electrical power-handling capacity is largely determined by the three parameters, VOLTAGE,
CURRENT and POWER. These parameters essentially depend on the CAPACITANCE, the OPERATING FREQUENCY and
the AMBIENT TEMPERATURE.
APPLICATIONS:
Typical uses for ceramic RF-Power capacitors are:
• INDUCTIVE HEATING EQUIPMENT (Operating frequencies above 20KHz)
• DIELECTRIC HEATING EQUIPMENT (Operating frequencies above 5MHz)
• IMPEDANCE TUNING CIRCUITS
• RF FILTER and PULSE FORMING CIRCUITS
• DC VOLTAGE BLOCKING, RF-VOLTAGE DIVIDERS
• RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT
• VOLTAGE MULTIPLIERS (Capacitor stacks)
ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS:
The electrical performance is determined by four parameters: CAPACITANCE, VOLTAGE, CURRENT and REACTIVE
POWER.
CAPACITANCE:
Rated capacitance CR is the nominal capacitance value.

If the capacitor is operated above the lower limit frequency fu, the rated voltage has to be restricted so the rated power will not
be exceeded (see next page).
RATED CURRENT:
The rated current IR is the maximum effective value of the sinusoidal current for which the current paths of the capacitor are
designed. This rated current is reached only at the upper frequency limit fo (see next page).
RATED POWER:
The rated power QR is the reactive power for which the capacitor has been designed taking into account its dielectric losses.
The rated power QR (KVAr) stated in the following charts refers to an ambient temperature of 30°C. When used without forced
cooling, above 30°C, the rated power has to be reduced according to the following formula:

The power handling capability of a capacitor with respect to voltage, power and current varies at different frequencies.
Three frequency ranges can be defined in terms of the upper (fo) and lower (fu) limit frequencies. In each range one of the
electrical parameters limits the maximum wattage of the capacitor.

INSULATION RESISTANCE:
The insulation resistance is the DC resistance of a capacitor, resulting under the conditions specified below, from the bulk
resistivity of the dielectric material and the surface resistance. Within the range of the permissible operating temperatures, the
bulk resistance of ceramic dielectric is extremely high so that mainly the surface resistance is measured.

Ceramic RF-Power Capacitors
DISSIPATION FACTOR - MEASURING CONDITIONS:
The dissipation factor of all Ceramic RF-Power Capacitors - except where deviations are agreed upon in the ordering procedure
- are measured under the following conditions.
MEASURING FREQUENCY:
Class 1-Ceramic dielectric (C < 1000pF): (1 ± 0.2) MHz or (100 ± 20) KHz
Class 1-Ceramic dielectric (C ≥ 1000pF): (300 ± 50) KHz

CAPACITANCE “AGEING” OF CERAMIC CAPACITORS:
Following the final heat treatment, all Class 2 ceramic capacitors reduce their capacitance value approximately according to a
logarithmic law due to their special crystaline construction. This change is called “ageing”. If the capacitors are heat treated for
example when soldering, the capacity increases again to a higher value and the ageing process begins again. (Note: The level
of this de-ageing is dependant on the temperature and the duration of the heat; an almost complete de-ageing is achieved at
150°C in one hour: These conditions also form the basis for reference measurements when testing). The capacitance change
per time decade (ageing constant) differs with the various types of ceramic but typical values can be taken from the table below.

REFERENCE MEASUREMENT:
Due to ageing, it is necessary to quote an age for reference measurements which can be related to the capacitance with fixed
tolerance. According to EN 130700, this time period is 1000 hours. If the shelf-life of the capacitor is known, the capacitance
for t = 1000hours can be calculated with the ageing constant. In order to avoid the influence of the ageing, it is important to deage the capacitors before stress-testing.
The following protection is adopted (see also EN 130700):
De-ageing at 150°C, 1 hour
Storage for 24 hours at normal climate temperature

OPERATION CONDITIONS:
The user should ensure that the permissible operating conditions are not exceeded.
voltage the following subjects should be taken in consideration.
•
•
•
•
Concerning the applied maximum
Harmonic modulation and parasitic frequencies
Transient over-voltages
Differences in capacitance and distribution of power when capacitors connected in series
Assymetric HF fields
Concerning over-heating, the following subjects should be taken into consideration:
•
•
•
•
Ambient temperature and radiation from other heat sources
Differences in capacitance and distribution of power when capacitors connected in series
RF induction fields and parasitic currents
Humidity, condensation, moisture deposit
MOUNTING
The user should take care in the mechanical mounting to ensure that mechanical and thermal stresses are minimized. The
connection to one electrode must be flexible in order to prevent the generation of physical forces which could damage the
capacitor elements. Such forces are often generated by the dimensional differences resulting from the normal physical tolerances
of the components.
The capacitor elements must not be used as a mechanical support for other devices or components. For further mounting
guidelines see on the individual datasheets.
SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS (CAPACITORS WITH LEADS)
Mounting of the component should be achieved using SN 60/40 or silver bearing SN 62/36/2AG solder, whereby solder wire,
cream or preforms are acceptable. Only a mildly active, resin flux should be used.
We recommend the use of a heat sink adjacent to the component body, if possible.
As ceramic capacitors are very sensitive to rapid changes in temperature (thermal shock), a pre-heat and post-heat cycle is
strongly recommended.
Both the component and ground plate should be heated up to 120°C (Heat must not be applied directly to the ceramic body and
the temperature on the component surface should not be allowed to increase faster than 100°C per minute).
After the pre-heat cycle, the mounting plate temperature should be raised to achieve solder flow. The solder flow state should
be maintained for a minimum period (recommendation: less than 5s) and the tip temperature should be maintained for a
minimum period (recommendation: less than 5s) and the tip temperature should be as low as possible (max. 260°C).
The assembly should be allowed to cool at a rate not exceeding 100°C per minute.

Ceramic RF-Power Capacitors
CERAMIC MATERIALS:
Ceramic dielectrics are inorganic materials, sintered at temperatures above 1000°C, and developed especially for the manufacture of capacitors.
Ceramic RF-power capacitors are subdivided into two classes, in accordance with recomendations of IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission) with respect to the chemical composition of the dielectric and electrical characteristics.
Class 1 or low-K (NDK) are mainly manufactured of titanium dioxide or magnesium silicate.
Class 2 or high-K capacitors (HDK) contain mostly alkaline earth titanates.
Listed in the tables below are general physical and electrical characteristics of the ceramic dielectric used.

Ceramic RF-Power Capacitors
QUALITY CONTROL AND TESTING:
The quality of our RF-power capacitors is assured by numerous tests carried out at every stage of production. The finished
capacitors are subjected to the individual 100% tests given below.
CAPACITANCE:
Class 1 ceramics at 0.1MHz, with 20VRMS, (25 ± 5)°C
Class 2 ceramics at 1KHz,with ≤ 5VRMS, (25 ± 5)°C
DISSIPATION FACTOR :
Class 1 ceramics (CR < 1000pF) at 1MHz, with 10VRMS, (25 ± 5)°C
Class 1 ceramics (CR ≥ 1000pF) at 300KHz, with 10VRMS, (25 ± 5)°C
Class 2 ceramics at 1KHz, with ≤ 5VRMS, (25 ± 5)°C
INSULATION RESISTANCE:
at 100VDC, (25 ± 5)°C
DIELECTRIC WITHSTANDING:
Standard test with 200% UR, AC 50Hz, 5 minutes. (As repeated test admissable only once with a step-up voltage reduced by
10% for three minutes).
RF-HEATING TEST
This 100% test is carried out with Watercooled Pot Capacitors, Multilayer Power Capacitors and those components made from
R 230 dielectric only.
The units are tested in the tank circuit of a RF-test generator with at least 130% to 150% rated power for 5 to 10 minutes.
For all other types, this RF-power test is subject to special agreement.
For details of Watercooled Capacitors see individual datasheets.
