Product Bulletin Surface Mount Ceramic Chip Capacitors – Ultra Stable X8R Dielectric KEMET’s Ultra Stable X8R Dielectric features a 150°C maximum operating temperature, offering the latest in high temperature dielectric technology and therefore a reliable choice for extreme temperature applications. It offers the same temperature capability as conventional X8R, but without the capacitance loss due to applied DC voltage. Ultra Stable X8R exhibits no capacitance loss and is a suitable replacement for higher capacitance and larger footprint devices that fail to offer capacitance stability. Product applications include harsh environments such as Down Hole (Oil Exploration), Automotive (Under Hood), Military and Aerospace. Six standard package options are available which include EIA 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210, and 1812 case sizes. Devices are available in dc voltage ratings of 25V, 50V and 100V, with capacitance offerings ranging from 10pF to 0.22μF. Capacitance tolerances offerings include ±1%, ±2%, ±5%, ±10% and ±20%, with capacitance shift limited to ±15% from -55°C to +150°C. 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.
