Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
KPS Series, X7R Dielectric, 10 – 250 VDC
(Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET Power Solutions (KPS) Automotive Series stacked
capacitors utilize a proprietary lead-frame technology
to vertically stack one or two multilayer ceramic chip
capacitors into a single compact surface mount package.
The attached lead-frame mechanically isolates the
capacitor/s from the printed circuit board, therefore offering
advanced mechanical and thermal stress performance.
Isolation also addresses concerns for audible, microphonic
noise that may occur when a bias voltage is applied. A
two chip stack offers up to double the capacitance in
the same or smaller design footprint when compared to
traditional surface mount MLCC devices. Providing up to
10 mm of board flex capability, KPS Series capacitors are
environmentally friendly and in compliance with RoHS
legislation. Available in X7R dielectric, these devices are
capable of Pb-Free reflow profiles and provide lower ESR, ESL
and higher ripple current capability when compared to other
dielectric solutions.
Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric, KEMET’s
KPS Series devices exhibit a predictable change in
capacitance with respect to time and voltage and boast a
minimal change in capacitance with reference to ambient
temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±15% from
−55°C to +125°C.
KPS Series automotive grade capacitors meet the demanding
Automotive Electronics Council's AEC–Q200 qualification
requirements.

Automotive C-Spec Information
KEMET Automotive Grade products meet or exceed the requirements outlined by the Automotive Electronics Council.
Details regarding test methods and conditions are referenced in document AEC–Q200, Stress Test Qualification for Passive
Components. These products are supported by a Product Change Notification (PCN) and Production Part Approval Process
warrant (PPAP).
Automotive products offered through our distribution channel have been assigned an inclusive ordering code C-Spec, “9170”.
This C-Spec was developed in order to better serve small and medium sized companies that prefer an automotive grade
component without the requirement to submit a customer Source Controlled Drawing (SCD) or specification for review by a
KEMET engineering specialist. This C-Spec is therefore not intended for use by KEMET’s OEM Automotive customers and are
not granted the same “privileges” as other automotive C-Specs. Customer PCN approval and PPAP request levels are limited
(see details below).
Product Change Notification (PCN)
The KEMET Product Change Notification system is used to communicate primarily the following types of changes:
• Product/process changes that affect product form, fit, function, and/or reliability
• Changes in manufacturing site
• Product obsolescence

KEMET assigned C-Specs require the submittal of a customer SCD or customer specification for review. For additional information contact KEMET.
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
The purpose of the Production Part Approval Process is:
• To ensure that supplier can meet the manufacturability and quality requirements for the purchased parts.
• To provide the evidence that all customer engineering design record and specification requirements are properly
understood and
fulfilled by the manufacturing organization.
• To demonstrate that the established manufacturing process has the potential to produce the part

Parameters/Characteristics
Regarding aging rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 1,000 hours.
To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤ 10 µF
120 Hz ±10 Hz and 0.5 ±0.1 Vrms if capacitance > 10 µF
Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known
as Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."
