Description :
What is the flammability rating of your military ceramic capacitors?

Answer :
MLCC: Chips have been fired at high temperature, resulting in the removal of all organic compounds. In addition, they have no plastic case. As a result, they are not considered flammable.
Leaded: All of the polymers used to encapsulate KEMET leaded ceramic capacitors have a UL flammability rating of 94V-0. The ceramic chips inside the case themselves are not flammable, as discussed under the MLCC topic above.
