One world. One KEMET

Overview

KEMET’s Z5U dielectric features an 85°C maximum

operating temperature and is considered “general-purpose.”

The Electronics Components, Assemblies & Materials

Association (EIA) characterizes Z5U dielectric as a Class III

material. Components of this classification are fixed, ceramic

dielectric capacitors suited for bypass and decoupling or other

applications in which dielectric losses, high insulation resistance

and capacitance stability are not of major importance. Z5U exhibits

a predictable change in capacitance with respect to time and

voltage and displays wide variations in capacitance with reference

to ambient temperature. Capacitance change is limited to +22%,

−56% from +10°C to +85°C.
