KEMET KC-Link™ surface mount capacitors in 1812, 2220, 3640 case sizes

KEMET is pleased to announce an extension to the KC-LINK™ surface mount capacitor series. With this new offering, KC-LINK is now available in EIA case size 1812, 2220 and 3640.
 
The very high ripple current capabilities make KC-LINK capacitors ideal for use with fast-switching wide Band Gap (WBG) semiconductors, which enables power converters to operate at higher voltages, temperatures and frequencies, and achieve higher efficiency levels and greater power density. The devices are suitable for use in DC-Link, snubber and resonant applications.   
 
KC-LINK capacitors are also ideal for resonant converters and wireless chargers in applications such as cloud computing and charging electric vehicles.
 
For added reliability, KC-LINK is now available with flexible termination technology that provides superior flex performance over standard termination systems, addressing the primary failure mode of MLCC's flex cracks.
