temperature cycling

Overview

KEMET’s KPS Series (KEMET Power Solutions) utilizes

proprietary lead-frame technology to vertically stack one or two

multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) into a single compact

surface mount package. The attached lead-frame mechanically

isolates the capacitor/s from the printed circuit board, therefore

offering advanced mechanical and thermal stress performance.

Isolation also addresses concerns for audible, microphonic noise

that may occur when a bias voltage is applied.

A two chip stack offers up to double the capacitance in the same

or smaller design footprint when compared to traditional surface

mount MLCC devices.

Providing up to 10mm of board flex capability, KPS Series

capacitors are environmentally friendly and in compliance with

RoHS legislation. Available in X7R dielectric, these devices are

capable of Pb-free reflow profiles and provide lower ESR, ESL

and higher ripple current capability when compared to other

dielectric solutions.
