Description :
What is the electrostatic dissipation capability of your ceramic products?
Answer :
KEMET ceramic chips have high breakdown voltages, and are thus quite robust in most ESD type applications. In some ESD testing, a simulator capacitor (typically either 150 or 200 pF) is charged to a high ESD voltage, and is then discharged into the capacitor under test. Under such conditions, the final voltage seen by the capacitor under test is determined by charge redistribution between the two capacitors. Thus, capacitors of very small value may be damaged by high ESD simulator voltages, since they can go as high as 25 KV. More information on ESD capabilities is available in technical papers available on our website.
