KEMET CAN series 250 VAC non-safety AC-rated MLCCs

KEMET’s CAN series are non-safety rated ceramic capacitors are designed for 250 VAC applications where higher CV values are required but not available in safety certified MLCCs. These capacitors are qualified for continuous use under AC line conditions of 250 VAC 50/60 Hz. Available in a variety of case sizes and industry leading CV values (capacitance/voltage), these devices exhibit low leakage current and low ESR at high frequencies. For added reliability, KEMET's flexible termination technology is an available option that provides superior flex performance over standard termination systems. This series is available in X7R and C0G dielectrics. X7R exhibits a predictable change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage, and boasts a minimal change in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature. C0G exhibits no change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage and boasts a negligible change in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature. CAN series is specifically designed and tested for 50/60 Hz line frequencies and other non-safety critical applications.
