KEMET C1210C106K3R1CAUTO

KEMET Power Solutions (KPS) Automotive Series stacked capacitors utilize proprietary lead frame technology to vertically stack one or two multilayer ceramic chip capacitors into a compact SMT package. The connected lead frame mechanically isolates the capacitors from the PCB, delivering excellent mechanical and thermal stress performance. This isolation also addresses audible microphonic noise that may occur when bias voltage is applied. Compared to conventional SMT MLCC devices, the dual-chip stack provides up to twice the capacitance in the same or smaller footprint. KPS series capacitors feature up to 10mm board flex capability, are environmentally friendly, and RoHS compliant. These devices utilize X7R dielectric, are compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes, and offer lower ESR, ESL, and higher ripple current capability compared to other dielectric solutions. Combined with the stability of X7R dielectric, KEMET's KPS series devices exhibit predictable capacitance variation over time and voltage, with minimal capacitance change relative to ambient temperature. Capacitance variation is limited to ±15% over the temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. KPS series automotive-grade capacitors meet the stringent AEC-Q200 qualification requirements of the Automotive Electronics Council.
