Product Bulletin Surface Mount Ceramic Chip Capacitors – X8L Dielectric KEMET’s X8L Dielectric offers an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C with capacitance shift limited to ±15% from -55°C to +125°C and +15, -40% from 125°C to 150°C. Product applications include harsh environments such as Down Hole (Oil Exploration), Automotive (Under Hood), Military and Aerospace. Five standard package options are available which include EIA 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, and 1210 case sizes. Devices are available in dc voltage ratings of 10V, 25V and 50V, with capacitance offerings ranging from 10pF to 0.22μF. Capacitance tolerances offerings include ±5%, ±10% and ±20. All parts are environmentally friendly, in compliance with RoHS legislation (RoHS 6/6) and are being offered in both commercial and automotive grades with 100% pure matte tin-plated terminations that allow for excellent solderability. A Sn/Pb termination option is also available upon request.

The recommended techniques are as follows: • 0402 and ≥1210 Case Sizes - Solder Reflow Only • 0603/0805/1206 Case Sizes - Solder Wave/Solder Reflow Marking These chips will be supplied unmarked. If required, they can be laser-marked as an extra option. Details on the marking format are included in KEMET Surface Mount catalog F3102. In general, the information in the KEMET Surface Mount catalog F3102 applies to these capacitors. The information in this bulletin supplements that in the catalog. © KEMET Electronics Corporation • P.O.
