Greenville, South Carolina (June 8, 2011) – KEMET Corporation
(NYSE: KEM), a leading manufacturer of tantalum, ceramic, aluminum, film,
paper and electrolytic capacitors, today announced its new Automotive
Grade High Voltage Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors. Qualified to the
Automotive Electronics Council’s AEC-Q200 standard, these surface mount
capacitors are available in X7R and C0G dielectrics from 500VDC to
3000VDC.
“KEMET is the first manufacturer to offer a complete range of Automotive
Grade High Voltage Ceramic Capacitors,” said Bill Sloka, Specialty Product
Manager. “These components are ideal for high growth segments within the
automotive market such as electric and hybrid vehicles, charging stations
for plug-in vehicles as well as vehicle lighting applications.”
Whether under-hood or in-cabin, KEMET High Voltage Automotive Grade parts
emphasize the vital and robust nature of capacitors required for mission
and safety critical automotive circuits. Stricter testing protocols and
inspection criteria are applied to these products to ensure reliability in
potentially harsh environmental conditions. KEMET Automotive Grade
capacitors meet all AEC-Q200 qualification requirements and are
manufactured in state-of-the-art ISO/TS 16949:2002 certified facilities.
The High Voltage AEC-Q200 X7R dielectric is also available with the option
of KEMET’s Flexible Termination System (FT-CAP). Designed to reduce
ceramic chip failures, this technology directs circuit board stress away
from the ceramic body and into the termination area, therefore lowering
the risk of mechanical damage to the component that can result in low IR
or short circuit failures.
