Electronic components supplier KEMET Corporation has announced the expansion of its HiQ-CBR series surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) in C0G dielectric to include extended capacitance values and voltage ratings up to 500 volts.
“[The new] HiQ-CBR Series MLCCs in C0G dielectric features a robust and exceptionally stable copper base-metal electrode system that provides excellent low loss performance,” Reggie Phillips, product line manager at KEMET, said. “These devices offer extremely low ESR and high self-resonance characteristics and are well-suited for resonant circuit applications or those where Q and stability of capacitance characteristics are required.”
According to the company, the HiQ-CBR series is suitable for many circuit applications, including RF power amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, low noise amplifiers, filter networks, antenna tuning, timing circuits, delay lines, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coils. Typical markets for the new capacitors include telecommunications, medical, transportation, defense and aerospace. The HiQ-CBR series complements KEMET ferrite products, such as chip inductors and ferrite beads.
“KEMET continues to push forward in its commitment to offer customers the most complete line of innovative capacitance solutions available,” Abhijit Gurav, PhD, vice president of ceramic technology at KEMET, said. “The expansion of our CBR series devices will allow KEMET to continue bringing world-class service and technology to radio frequency and microwave applications.”
