Greenville, South Carolina (November 1, 2005) – KEMET Corporation (NYSE: KEM) announced today the launch of KEMET’s Tip & Ring 250VDC surface mount MLCC series. KEMET’s Tip & Ring capacitors are designed and rated for use in telecommunication ringer circuits where the capacitor is used to block -48 to -52 Volts DC of line voltage and pass a 16-25Hz AC signal pulse of 70Vrms to 90Vrms. The surface mount ceramic capacitors are excellent replacements for high voltage leaded film devices. The smaller SMT footprints save valuable board space which is critical when creating new designs and the capacitors are able to withstand today’s higher lead-free reflow processing temperatures. The ceramic MLCC capacitors have excellent high frequency filtering characteristics, low ESR, and high temperature reflow capabilities.
KEMET Tip & Ring series capacitors are available in commercial surface mount EIA sizes from 0805 to 2225. The Tip & Ring series dielectric availability includes the X7R dielectric. The voltage rating for this series is 250VDC. Capacitance in the series ranges from 0.001µF to 1.2µF depending on case size selection. The Tip & Ring series capacitors are RoHS compliant.
