CB Series SMD Film Capacitors

KYOCERA AVX’s CB series SMD film capacitors are available in metalized polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), metallized polyethylene terephthalate (PET-HT), and metallized polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). The pen dielectric SMD film capacitor uses a stacked and naked construction with metalized PEN. These capacitors are available in case sizes from 1206 to 6054 and capacitance values up to 4.7 µF and are suitable for applications where the voltage requirement is below 630 V and SMD is mandatory. The self-healing property of the PEN film provides an open failure mode with increased overall reliability. PEN film capacitors provide low DC bias and low dielectric absorption like NPO multilayer ceramic capacitors but are able to provide increased capacitance values similar to X7R ceramic capacitors. PEN capacitors exhibit excellent thermal shock resistance. The use of high-temperature dielectric film (PEN) makes these capacitors suitable for IR or vapor phase reflow. Customized designs are available on request.

The PET-HT dielectric SMD film capacitor use a stacked and naked construction with metalized PET-HT. These capacitors are available in case sizes from 2220 to 6054 and capacitance values up to 4.7 µF and are suitable for applications where the voltage requirement is below 630 V and SMD is mandatory. The self-healing property of the PET-HT film provides an open failure mode with increased overall reliability and provide low DC bias. PET-HT capacitors exhibit excellent thermal shock resistance. The use of high-temperature dielectric film PET-HT makes these capacitors suitable for IR or vapor phase reflow. Customized designs available on request.

The PPS dielectric SMD film capacitor use a stacked and naked construction with metalized polyphenylene sulfide PPS. These capacitors are available in case sizes from 1206 to 1812 and capacitance values from 1 nF up to 180 nF and are suitable for applications where the voltage requirement is below 50 V and SMD is mandatory. The self-healing property of the PPS film provides an open failure mode with increased overall reliability. PPS film capacitors provide very stable capacitance value with temperature, like ceramic NPO. It also provides low DC bias and very low dielectric absorption. PPS capacitors exhibit excellent thermal shock resistance. The use of high-temperature dielectric film PPS makes these capacitors suitable for IR or vapor phase reflow. Customized designs are available on request.
