1206 High Cap Class 1 Capacitor
Todays electronic devices need more and more capacitors of small dimensions but high cap values of
class 1 characteristic (based on non-ferroelectric materials)
EPCOS HC1 capacitors provide high cap values in small chip sizes due to their special ceramic
material with a very high dielectric constant (ε) which is more than 5 times higher than the
ε
of the
conventional C0G – material.
The electrical behaviour of these capacitors are very close to that of the C0G-material, except for the
Temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) which is higher but does not exceed ± 4% between –
25°C and +85°C.
