Kemet - Latest radial-leaded MLCCs offer high performance in tough environments

Kemet announces expansion of its high-voltage Goldmax radial-lead multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) product line to include a new 630VDC rating and leading capacitance values. The high voltage Goldmax radial lead MLCC is rated for use in the temperature range of -55C to + 125C, and can be used for COG and X7R dielectrics. It uses advanced ceramic technology and is one of the most commonly used external dimensions. Kegel Operations Manager Rogelio Gonzalez said, "Kemet's Radial Leaded MLCC is a versatile, highly durable capacitor solution that is well-suited for a variety of applications." "The key feature is the wire termination system, which ensures protection in harsh and high vibration environments Has excellent mechanical strength. " In applications that cause printed circuit board (PCB) or component failure, leaded MLCCs are often the preferred solution. They can be soldered or crimped, eliminating the need for a PCB, saving space and cost. In addition, radial leaded capacitors are non-polar capacitors and can be easily integrated into existing circuits. High-voltage Goldmax capacitors are designed for a variety of applications, such as power supplies, car keyless entry, temperature sensors, LED lighting, and electric motors.
