KEMET 's X8L and Ultra Stable X8R Series surface mount capacitors offer the latest in high temperature dielectric technology for the harshest environments such as Down Hole (oil exploration), under hood automotive, and aerospace.

All of KEMET 's environmentally friendly X8L and X8R Dielectric parts are in compliance with RoHS 6/6 and are being offered in both commercial and automotive grades with 100% pure matte tin-plated terminations that allow for excellent solderability. A Sn/Pb termination option is also available upon request.

• Capacitance offerings ranging from 10pF to 0.22μF
• Qualification Certification:
• Automotive Grade Available: AEC-Q200 Rev. C
• RoHS-PRC (6/6) - 100% matte Sn termination
• DF Limits are 25 - 100 Volts: 2.5%
• Soldering Process - all parts incorporate the standard KEMET barrier layer of pure nickel, with an overplate of pure tin to provide excellent solderability as well as resistance to leaching. The recommended techniques are as follows:
• 0402 and ≥ 1210 case sizes - solder reflow only
• 0603 / 0805 / 1206 case sizes - solder wave/solder reflow

• Electrical Parameters , as detailed in the KEMET Surface Mount Catalog F3102, with the following specific requirements based on room temperature (25ºC) parameters:
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to +150°C
• Temperature Coefficient of Capacitance: ±15% (-55 to 125ºC); [X8L additional: +15, -40% (125 to 150ºC)]
• Insulation Resistance (IR) measured after 2 minutes at rated voltage @ 25°C: Limit is 1000 megohm microfarads or 100GΩ, whichever of the two is smaller
• Capacitance and Dissipation Factor (DF) measured under the following conditions: 1kHz and 1 Vrms
