Product Checklist
• Does your high voltage application meet or
exceed 300 VDC?
• Will your high voltage circuit be exposed
to high humidity environments?
• Is surface arcing (arc-over discharge)
a concern?
• Are you currently using MLCCs with a
surface coating to prevent surface arcing?
• Do you require stricter testing protocol and
inspection criteria (Automotive Grade)?
• Would you be interested in a flexible
termination option to improve board
flex performance?

Default packaging is “Bulk Bag”. An ordering code C-Spec is not required for “Bulk Bag” packaging.
The terms “Marked” and “Unmarked” pertain to laser marking option of capacitors. All packaging options labeled as “Unmarked” will contain capacitors that have not been laser marked.
The 2 mm pitch option allows for double the packaging quantity of capacitors on a given reel size. This option is limited to EIA 0603 (1608 metric) case size devices. For more information
regarding 2 mm pitch option see “Tape & Reel Packaging Information”.
3
Reeling tape options (Paper or Plastic) are dependent on capacitor case size (L” x W”) and thickness dimension. See “Chip Thickness/Tape & Reel Packaging Quantities” and
“Tape & Reel Packaging Information”. 3
All Automotive packaging C-Specs listed exclude the option to laser mark components. Please contact KEMET if you require a laser marked option. For more information see
“Capacitor Marking”.
