KEMET KC-LINK surface mount capacitors
KEMET's KC-LINK surface mount capacitors are designed to meet the growing demand for fast switching semiconductors that operate at higher voltages, temperatures, and frequencies
By utilizing KEMET's robust and proprietary C0G/NPO base metal electrode (BME) dielectric system, these capacitors are well suited for power converters, inverters, snubbers, and resonators where high efficiency is a primary concern. With extremely low effective series resistance (ESR) and very low thermal resistance, KC-LINK capacitors can operate at very high ripple currents with no change in capacitance versus DC voltage and negligible change in capacitance versus temperature. Operating temperatures of 150°C enable these capacitors to be mounted close to fast switching semiconductors in high power density applications which require minimal cooling. KC-LINK C0G dielectric technology also exhibits high mechanical robustness compared to other dielectric technologies, allowing the capacitor to be mounted without the use of lead frames. This provides extremely low ESL, increasing the operating frequency range allowing for further miniaturization.
