Class I Dielectrics

Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors are generally divided into classes

which are defined by the capacitance temperature characteristics

over specified temperature ranges. These are designated by alpha

numeric codes. Code definitions are summarised below and are also

available in the relevant national and international specifications.
Capacitors within this class have a dielectric constant range from

10 to 100. They are used in applications which require ultra stable

dielectric characteristics with negligible dependence of capacitance

and dissipation factor with time, voltage and frequency. They

exhibit the following characteristics:-
a) Time does not significantly affect capacitance and dissipation

factor (Tan

) – no ageing.

b) Capacitance and dissipation factor are not affected by voltage.

c) Linear temperature coefficient.

Class II Dielectrics

Capacitors of this type have a dielectric constant range of 1000-

4000 and also have a non-linear temperature characteristic which

exhibits a dielectric constant variation of less than ±15% (2R1)

from its room temperature value, over the specified temperature

range. Generally used for by-passing (decoupling), coupling,

filtering, frequency discrimination, DC blocking and voltage transient

suppression with greater volumetric efficiency than Class I units,

whilst maintaining stability within defined limits.

FlexiCap™ overview

FlexiCap™ termination

MLCCs are widely used in electronic circuit design for a multitude of

applications. Their small package size, technical performance and

suitability for automated assembly makes them the component of

choice for the specifier.
However, despite the technical benefits, ceramic components are

brittle and need careful handling on the production floor. In some

circumstances they may be prone to mechanical stress damage if

not used in an appropriate manner. Board flexing, depanelisation,

mounting through hole components, poor storage and automatic

testing may all result in cracking.
Careful process control is important at all stages of circuit board

assembly and transportation - from component placement to

test and packaging. Any significant board flexing may result in

stress fractures in ceramic devices that may not always be evident

during the board assembly process. Sometimes it may be the end

customer who finds out - when equipment fails!

Knowles has the solution - FlexiCap™

FlexiCap™ has been developed as a result of listening to customers’

experiences of stress damage to MLCCs from many manufacturers,

often caused by variations in production processes.
Our answer is a proprietary flexible epoxy polymer termination

material, that is applied to the device under the usual nickel barrier

finish. FlexiCap™ will accommodate a greater degree of board

bending than conventional capacitors.

Knowles FlexiCap™ termination

Ranges are available with FlexiCap™ termination material offering

increased reliability and superior mechanical performance (board

flex and temperature cycling) when compared with standard

termination materials. Refer to Knowles application note reference

AN0001. FlexiCap™ capacitors enable the board to be bent

almost twice as much before mechanical cracking occurs. Refer to

application note AN0002.
FlexiCap™ is also suitable for Space applications having passed

thermal vacuum outgassing tests. Refer to Syfer application note

reference AN0026.

Application notes

FlexiCap™ may be handled, stored and transported in the same

manner as standard terminated capacitors. The requirements for

mounting and soldering FlexiCap™ are the same as for standard

SMD capacitors.
For customers currently using standard terminated capacitors there

should be no requirement to change the assembly process when

converting to FlexiCap™

Based upon board bend tests in accordance with IEC 60384-1

the amount of board bending required to mechanically crack a

FlexiCap™ terminated capacitor is significantly increased compared

with standard terminated capacitors.
It must be stressed however, that capacitor users must not

assume that the use of FlexiCap™ terminated capacitors will totally

eliminate mechanical cracking. Good process controls are still

required for this objective to be achieved.

Summary of PCB bend test results

The bend tests conducted on X7R have proven that the FlexiCap™

termination withstands a greater level of mechanical stress before

mechanical cracking occurs.
The AEC-Q200 test for X7R requires a bend level of 2mm minimum

and a cap change of less than 10%.

AEC-Q200 test conditions

Standard termination

FlexiCap™

Typically 8mm to 10mm

FlexiCap™ benefits

With traditional termination materials and assembly, the chain

of materials from bare PCB to soldered termination, provides no

flexibility. In circumstances where excessive stress is applied - the

weakest link fails. This means the ceramic itself, which may fail

short circuit.
The benefit to the user is to facilitate a wider process window -

giving a greater safety margin and substantially reducing the typical

root causes of mechanical stress cracking.
FlexiCap™ may be soldered using your traditional wave or reflow

solder techniques including lead free and needs no adjustment to

equipment or current processes.
Knowles has delivered millions of FlexiCap™ components and

during that time has collected substantial test and reliability data,

working in partnership with customers world wide, to eliminate

mechanical cracking.
An additional benefit of FlexiCap™ is that MLCCs can withstand

temperature cycling -55ºC to 125ºC in excess of 1,000 times

without cracking.
FlexiCap™ termination has no adverse effect on any electrical

parameters, nor affects the operation of the MLCC in any way.

Export controls and dual-use regulations

Certain Knowles catalogue components are defined as ‘dual-use’

items under international export controls - those that can be used

for civil or military purposes which meet certain specified technical

standards.
The defining criteria for a dual use component with respect to

Knowles Capacitor products is one with a voltage rating of >750Vdc

and a capacitance value of >250nF when measured at 750Vdc

and a series inductance <10nH. Components defined as dual-use

under the above criteria may require a licence for export across

international borders. Please contact the Sales Office for further

information on specific part numbers.

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and

restriction of Chemicals) statement

The main purpose of REACH is to improve the protection of human

health and the environment from the risks arising from the use of

chemicals.

Knowles maintains both ISO14001, Environmental Management

System and OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Management System

approvals that require and ensure compliance with corresponding

legislation such as REACH.

For further information, please contact the Knowles Capacitors

Sales Office at www.knowlescapacitors.com

RoHS compliance

Knowles routinely monitors world wide material restrictions (e.g.

EU/China and Korea RoHS mandates) and is actively involved in

shaping future legislation.
All standard C0G/NP0, X7R, X5R and High Q Knowles MLCC

products are compliant with the EU RoHS directive (see below

for special exceptions) and those with plated terminations are

suitable for soldering using common lead free solder alloys (refer

to ‘Soldering Information’ for more details on soldering limitations).

Compliance with the EU RoHS directive automatically signifies

compliance with some other legislation (e.g. China and Korea

RoHS). Please refer to the Knowles Capacitors Sales Office for

details of compliance with other materials legislation.
Breakdown of material content, SGS analysis reports and tin

whisker test results are available on request.
Most Knowles MLCC components are available with non RoHS

compliant tin lead (SnPb) solderable termination finish for exempt

applications and where pure tin is not acceptable. Other tin free

termination finishes may also be available – please refer to the

Knowles Capacitors Sales Office for further details.
Radial components have tin plated leads as standard but tin/lead is

available as a special option. Please refer to the radial section of the

catalogue for further details.
X8R ranges <250Vdc are not RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant. Check

Ageing

Capacitor ageing is a term used to describe the negative,

logarithmic capacitance change which takes place in ceramic

capacitors with time. The crystalline structure for barium titanate

based ceramics changes on passing through its Curie temperature

(known as the Curie Point) at about 125°C. This domain structure

relaxes with time and in doing so, the dielectric constant reduces

logarithmically; this is known as the ageing mechanism of the

dielectric constant. The more stable dielectrics have the lowest

ageing rates.
The ageing process is reversible and repeatable. Whenever the

capacitor is heated to a temperature above the Curie Point the

ageing process starts again from zero.
The ageing constant, or ageing rate, is defined as the percentage

loss of capacitance due to the ageing process of the dielectric

which occurs during a decade of time (a tenfold increase in age)

and is expressed as percent per logarithmic decade of hours. As

the law of decrease of capacitance is logarithmic, this means that

in a capacitor with an ageing rate of 1% per decade of time, the

capacitance will decrease at a rate of:

1% between 1 and 10 hours

An additional 1% between the following 10 and 100 hours

An additional 1% between the following 100 and 1000 hours

An additional 1% between the following 1000 and 10000

hours etc

The ageing rate continues in this manner throughout the

capacitor’s life.
Typical values of the ageing constant for our Multilayer Ceramic

Capacitors are:

Capacitance measurements

Because of ageing it is necessary to specify an age for reference

measurements at which the capacitance shall be within the

prescribed tolerance. This is fixed at 1000 hours, since for practical

purposes there is not much further loss of capacitance after this

time.

All capacitors shipped are within their specified tolerance at the

standard reference age of 1000 hours after having cooled through

their Curie temperature.
The ageing curve for any ceramic dielectric is a straight line when

plotted on semi-log paper.

Tight tolerance

One of the advantages of Knowles’ unique ‘wet process’ of

manufacture is the ability to offer capacitors with exceptionally tight

capacitance tolerances.
The accuracy of the printing screens used in the fully automated,

computer controlled manufacturing process allows for tolerance as

close as +/-1% on C0G/NP0 parts greater than or equal to 10pF.

For capacitance values below <4.7pF, tolerances can be as tight as

+/-0.05pF.

customers in using multilayer ceramic capacitors in surface

mount technology are available on the Knowles website www.

The information concentrates on the handling, mounting,

connection, cleaning, test and re-work requirements particular to

MLC’s for SMD technology, to ensure a suitable match between

component capability and user expectation. Some extracts are

given below.

Mechanical considerations for mounted ceramic chip

capacitors

Due to their brittle nature, ceramic chip capacitors are more prone

to excesses of mechanical stress than other components used in

surface mounting.
One of the most common causes of failure is directly attributable

to bending the printed circuit board after solder attachment.

The excessive or sudden movement of the flexible circuit board

stresses the inflexible ceramic block causing a crack to appear at

the weakest point, usually the ceramic/termination interface. The

crack may initially be quite small and not penetrate into the inner

electrodes; however, subsequent handling and rapid changes in

temperature may cause the crack to enlarge.
This mode of failure is often invisible to normal inspection

techniques as the resultant cracks usually lie under the capacitor

terminations but if left, can lead to catastrophic failure. More

importantly, mechanical cracks, unless they are severe may not be

detected by normal electrical testing of the completed circuit, failure

only occurring at some later stage after moisture ingression.
The degree of mechanical stress generated on the printed circuit

board is dependent upon several factors including the board

material and thickness; the amount of solder and land pattern.

The amount of solder applied is important, as an excessive amount

reduces the chip’s resistance to cracking.
It is Knowles’s experience that more than 90% are due to board

depanelisation, a process where two or more circuit boards are

separated after soldering is complete. Other manufacturing stages

that should be reviewed include:
1) Attaching rigid components such as connectors, relays, display

panels, heat sinks etc.
2) Fitting conventional leaded components. Special care must

be exercised when rigid terminals, as found on large can

  electrolytic capacitors, are inserted.
3)  Storage of boards in such a manner which allows warping.
4)  Automatic test equipment, particularly the type employing “bed

of nails” and support pillars.
5) Positioning the circuit board in its enclosure especially where

this is a “snap-fit”.
Knowles were the first MLCC manufacturer to launch a flexible

termination to significantly reduce the instances of mechanical

cracking. FlexiCap™ termination introduces a certain amount of give

into the termination layer absorbing damaging stress. Unlike similar

systems, FlexiCap™ does not tear under tension, but absorbs the

stress, so maintaining the characteristics of the MLCC.

SM Pad Design

Knowles conventional 2-terminal chip capacitors can generally

be mounted using pad designs in accordance with IPC-7351,

Generic Requirements for Surface Mount Design and Land Pattern

Standards, but there are some other factors that have been shown

to reduce mechanical stress, such as reducing the pad width to

less than the chip width. In addition, the position of the chip on the

board should also be considered.
3-Terminal components are not specifically covered by IPC-7351,

but recommended pad dimensions are included in the Knowles

catalogue / website for these components.

Alternative Printed Wire Board Land Patterns

Printed Wire Board land pattern design for chip components is

critical to ensure a reliable solder fillet, and to reduce nuisance

type manufacturing problems such as component swimming and

tombstoning. The land pattern suggested can be used for reflow

and wave solder operations as noted. Land patterns constructed

with these dimensions will yield optimized solder fillet formation and

thus reduce the possibility of early failure.

MLC Orientation - Horizontal and Vertical Mounting

The orientation of the MLC relative to the ground plane affects the

devices’ impedance. When the internal electrodes are parallel to

the ground plane (Horizontal mounting) the impedance of the MLC

resembles a folded transmission line driven from one end.
The graphs below show the modeled insertion loss and parallel

resonances of Knowles product C17AH101K-7UN-X0T with

horizontal mounting (modeling can be done in CapCad). When the

internal electrodes are perpendicular to the ground plane (Vertical

mounting, bottom graph) the MLC impedance resembles a folded

transmission line driven from the center reducing resonance effects.

The volume of solder applied to the chip capacitor can influence

the reliability of the device. Excessive solder can create thermal

and tensile stresses on the component which can lead to fracturing

of the chip or the solder joint itself. Insufficient or uneven solder

application can result in weak bonds, rotation of the device off line

or lifting of one terminal off the pad (tombstoning). The volume of

solder is process and board pad size dependent.
Soldering methods commonly used in industry are Reflow Soldering,

Wave Soldering and, to a lesser extent, Vapour Phase Soldering.

All these methods involve thermal cycling of the components and

therefore the rate of heating and cooling must be controlled to

preclude thermal shocking of the devices.
Without mechanical restriction, thermally induced stresses are

released once the capacitor attains a steady state condition.

Capacitors bonded to substrates, however, will retain some stress,

due primarily to the mismatch of expansion of the component to

the substrate; the residual stress on the chip is also influenced by

the ductility and hence the ability of the bonding medium to relieve

the stress. Unfortunately, the thermal expansion of chip capacitors

differ significantly from those of most substrate materials.
Large chips are more prone to thermal shock as their greater

bulk will result in sharper thermal gradients within the device

during thermal cycling. Large units experience excessive stress if

processed through the fast cycles typical of solder wave or vapour

phase operations.

Reflow soldering Surface Mount Chip Capacitors

Knowles recommend reflow soldering as the preferred method for

mounting MLCCs. Knowles MLCCs can be reflow soldered using

a reflow profile generally as defined in IPC / JEDEC J-STD-020.

Sn plated termination chip capacitors are compatible with both

conventional and lead free soldering, with peak temperatures of

260ºC to 270ºC acceptable.
The heating ramp rate should be such that components see

a temperature rise of 1.5ºC to 4ºC per seconds to maintain

temperature uniformity through the MLCC. The time for which

the solder is molten should be maintained at a minimum, so as to

prevent solder leaching. Extended times above 230ºC can cause

problems with oxidation of Sn plating. Use of inert atmosphere

can help if this problem is encountered. PdAg terminations can

be particularly susceptible to leaching with lead free, tin rich

solders and trials are recommended for this combination. Cooling

to ambient temperature should be allowed to occur naturally,

particularly if larger chip sizes are being soldered. Natural cooling

allows a gradual relaxation of thermal mismatch stresses in the

solder joints. Forced cooling should be avoided as this can induce

thermal breakage.

Wave soldering Surface Mount Chip Capacitors

Wave soldering is generally acceptable, but the thermal stresses

caused by the wave have been shown to lead to potential problems

with larger or thicker chips. Particular care should be taken when

soldering SM chips larger than size 1210 and with a thickness

greater than 1.0mm for this reason. 0402 size components are

not suitable for wave soldering. 0402 size components can also

be susceptible to termination leaching and reflow soldering is

recommended for this size MLCC.
Wave soldering exposes the devices to a large solder volume, hence

the pad size area must be restricted to accept an amount of solder

which is not detrimental to the chip size utilized. Typically the pad

width is 66% of the component width, and the length is .030” (.760

mm) longer than the termination band on the chip. An 0805 chip

which is .050” wide and has a .020” termination band therefore

requires a pad .033” wide by .050” in length. Opposing pads should

be identical in size to preclude uneven solder fillets and mismatched

surface tension forces which can misalign the device. It is preferred

that the pad layout results in alignment of the long axis of the chips

at right angles to the solder wave, to promote even wetting of all

terminals. Orientation of components in line with the board travel

direction may require dual waves with solder turbulence to preclude

cold solder joints on the trailing terminals of the devices, as these

are blocked from full exposure to the solder by the body of the

capacitor.
The pre-heat ramp should be such that the components see a

temperature rise of 1.5ºC to 4ºC per second as for reflow soldering.

This is to maintain temperature uniformity through the MLCC and

prevent the formation of thermal gradients within the ceramic. The

preheat temperature should be within 120ºC maximum (100ºC

preferred) of the maximum solder temperature to minimise thermal

shock. Maximum permissible wave temperature is 270ºC for SM

chips. Total immersion exposure time for Sn/Ni terminations is 30s

at a wave temperature of 260ºC. Note that for multiple soldering

operations, including the rework, the soldering time is cumulative.
The total immersion time in the solder should be kept to a

minimum. It is strongly recommended that plated terminations

are specified for wave soldering applications. PdAg termination

is particularly susceptible to leaching when subjected to lead

free wave soldering and is not generally recommended for this

application.
Cooling to ambient temperature should be allowed to occur

naturally, particularly if larger chip sizes are being soldered. Natural

cooling allows a gradual relaxation of thermal mismatch stresses

in the solder joints. Forced cooling should be avoided as this can

induce thermal breakage.

Vapour phase soldering Chip Capacitors

Vapour phase soldering can expose capacitors to similar thermal

shock and stresses as wave soldering and the advice is generally

the same. Particular care should be taken in soldering large

capacitors to avoid thermal cracks being induced and natural

cooling should be use to allow a gradual relaxation of stresses.

Hand soldering and rework of Chip Capacitors

Attachment using a soldering iron requires extra care and is

accepted to have a risk of cracking of the chip. Precautions include

preheating of the assembly to within 100°C of the solder flow

temperature and the use of a fine tip iron which does not exceed 30

watts. In no circumstances should the tip of the iron be allowed to

contact the chip directly.
Knowles recommend hot air/gas as the preferred method for

applying heat for rework. Apply even heat surrounding the

component to minimise internal thermal gradients.
Minimise the rework heat duration and allow components to cool

naturally after soldering.

Mounting, Soldering, Storage & Mechanical Precautions

Knowles-MLC-catalogue_2017-html.html

www.knowlescapacitors.com

Wave soldering Radial Leaded Chip Capacitors

Radial leaded capacitors are suitable for wave soldering when

mounted on the opposite side of the board to the wave. The body

of radial components should not be exposed directly to the wave.

Maximum permissible wave temperature is 260ºC for Radial Leaded

capacitors.

Hand soldering Radial Leaded capacitors

Radial capacitors can be hand soldered into boards using soldering

irons, provided care is taken not to touch the body of the capacitor

with the iron tip. Soldering should be carried out from the opposite

side of the board to the radial to minimise the risk of damage to

the capacitor body. Where possible, a heat sink should be used

between the solder joint and the body, especially if longer dwell

times are required.

Solder leaching

Leaching is the term for the dissolution of silver into the solder

causing a failure of the termination system which causes increased

ESR, tan δ and open circuit faults, including ultimately the

possibility of the chip becoming detached. Leaching occurs more

readily with higher temperature solders and solders with a high

tin content. Pb free solders can be very prone to leaching certain

termination systems. To prevent leaching, exercise care when

choosing solder alloys and minimize both maximum temperature

and dwell time with the solder molten.
Plated terminations with nickel or copper anti leaching barrier layers

are available in a range of top coat finishes to prevent leaching

occurring. These finishes also include Syfer FlexiCap™ for improved

stress resistance post soldering.

Bonding

Hybrid assembly using conductive epoxy or wire bonding requires

the use of silver palladium or gold terminations. Nickel barrier

termination is not practical in these applications, as intermetallics

will form between the dissimilar metals. The ESR will increase

over time and may eventually break contact when exposed to

temperature cycling.

Cleaning

Chip capacitors can withstand common agents such as water,

alcohol and degreaser solvents used for cleaning boards. Ascertain

that no flux residues are left on the chip surfaces as these diminish

electrical performance.

Handling

Ceramics are dense, hard, brittle and abrasive materials. They are

liable to suffer mechanical damage, in the form of chips or cracks, if

improperly handled.
Terminations may be abraded onto chip surfaces if loose chips are

tumbled in bulk. Metallic tracks may be left on the chip surfaces

which might pose a reliability hazard.
Components should never be handled with fingers; perspiration and

skin oils can inhibit solderability and will aggravate cleaning.
Chip capacitors should never be handled with metallic instruments.

Metal tweezers should never be used as these can chip the product

and may leave abraded metal tracks on the product surface.

Plastic or plastic coated metal types are readily available and

recommended - these should be used with an absolute minimum of

applied pressure.
Counting or visual inspection of chip capacitors is best performed

on a clean glass or hard plastic surface.
If chips are dropped or subjected to rough handling, they should

be visually inspected before use. Electrical inspection may also

reveal gross damage via a change in capacitance, an increase in

dissipation factor or a decrease either in insulation resistance or

electrical strength.

Transportation

Where possible, any transportation should be carried out with the

product in its unopened original packaging. If already opened,

any environmental control agents supplied should be returned to

packaging and the packaging re-sealed.
Avoid paper and card as a primary means of handling, packing,

transportation and storage of loose components. Many grades

have a sulphur content which will adversely affect termination

solderability.
Loose chips should always be packed with sulphur-free wadding to

prevent impact or abrasion damage during transportation.

Storage

Incorrect storage of components can lead to problems for the

user. Rapid tarnishing of the terminations, with an associated

degradation of solderability, will occur if the product comes into

contact with industrial gases such as sulphur dioxide and chlorine.

Storage in free air, particularly moist or polluted air, can result in

termination oxidation.
Packaging should not be opened until the MLCs are required

for use. If opened, the pack should be re-sealed as soon as is

practicable. Alternatively, the contents could be kept in a sealed

container with an environmental control agent.
Long term storage conditions, ideally, should be temperature

controlled between -5 and +40°C and humidity controlled between

40 and 60% R.H.
Taped product should be stored out of direct sunlight, which might

promote deterioration in tape or adhesive performance.
Product, stored under the conditions recommended above, in its “as

received” packaging, has a minimum shelf life of 2 years.

Improved ESR Capacitors -

BX & X7R

A range of commercial MLC chip capacitors with improved

ESR performance. This series has been designed for rugged

environments in high power broadband coupling and switching

power supplies. The Class II ceramic dielectric (BX or X7R

dependant on chip size) affords high volumetric efficiency with

negligible piezoelectric effects.
Please consult the Novacap Sales Office if your specific requirement

exceeds our catalog maximums (size, capacitance value and

voltage).

High Q Capacitors, High Temperature - H range

The Ultra-low ESR “H” range offers a very stable, X8G High Q

material system that provides excellent low loss performance.
Optimised for lowest possible ESR, the electrode system provides

low metal losses resulting in flatter performance curves and

reduced losses at higher frequencies.
An extended operating temperature range of -55ºC to +150ºC

accommodates modern high density micro electronics requirements.
This range of high frequency capacitors is suitable for many

applications where economical, high performance is required.

The VC1 residual capacitance range MLCCs provide a more

stable capacitance value with voltage - not to drop below 50%

of the 1Vrms 1kHz value, up to full rated DC voltage, at room

temperature.
They can be operated continuously at full rated voltage, but if de-

rated will maintain a larger percentage of their original capacitance

value, e.g. at 80% RV capacitance value equals 60% approx - see

graph.
Defined capacitance value in case sizes from 0805 to 3640, with

voltage rating up to 3kV. Ideal for Power supplies, capacitance

critical circuits, smoothing circuits and EMI suppression.

X7R capacitors with a defined capacitance variation under applied

dc voltage, across the full operating temperature range.
Whilst the capacitance of C0G/NP0 chips does not vary with applied

voltage, standard X7R capacitors exhibit capacitance fluctuation but

with no specified limit.
For applications where a limit is required, Knowles is able to offer

either a “B” code dielectric (conforms to MIL “BX” dielectric and

IECQ-CECC “2X1”) or “R” code dielectric (conforms to MIL “BZ”

dielectric and IECQ-CECC “2C1”).

Tandem Capacitors have been designed as a fail safe range using a

series section internal design, for use in any application where short

circuits would be unacceptable.
When combined with FlexiCap™ termination, Tandem capacitors

provide an ultra robust and reliable component, for use in the most

demanding applications.
Non-standard voltages are available. For more information please

consult the Sales Office.

Qualification included cracking the

components by severe bend tests.

Following the bend tests cracked

components were subjected to

endurance / humidity tests, with

no failures evident due to short

circuits.

Note: Depending on the severity

of the crack, capacitance loss was

between 0% and 50%.

Tandem

capacitor

Open Mode capacitors have been designed specifically for use in

applications where mechanical cracking is a severe problem and

short circuits due to cracking are unacceptable.
Open Mode capacitors use inset electrode margins, which prevent

any mechanical cracks which may form during board assembly

from connecting to the internal electrodes.
When combined with FlexiCap™ termination, Open Mode

capacitors provide a robust component with the assurance that

if a part becomes cracked, the crack will be unlikely to result in

short circuit failure.

A range of High Capacitance value BME MLC chip capacitors, in stable

Class II dielectrics X7R and X5R, with a spread of capacitance values

offered up to 100µF.
Comparable circuit designs can be achieved at typically a third to a

fifth of the capacitance values because of the low ESR characteristics

these parts exhibit. As a consequence they are also ideal to replace

Tantalum and Low ESR Electrolytic Capacitors without polarity

concerns. They find application as power supply bypass capacitors,

smoothing capacitors, input/output filters in DC-DC Converters and in

digital circuits and LCD modules.
Parts are RoHS Compliant and suitable for reflow soldering process.

The StackiCap™ range offers a significant reduction in ‘PCB real

estate’ for an equivalent capacitance value when board space is at a

premium. For example, a standard 150nF chip in a 8060 case size is

now available in a much smaller 3640 case size.
Knowles’s unique patented* construction and FlexiCap™ termination

material make the StackiCap™ range suitable for applications

including: power supplies, lighting, aerospace electronics and

high voltage applications where a large amount of capacitance is

required. Further developments are on-going, please contact the

Sales Office for details of the full range.

* StackiCap™ technology is protected by international patents (pending) EP2847776,

NC Capacitors -

X7R

MLCCs are particularly suitable for high voltage applications where

small size is required. For standard high voltage capacitors a

coating may be required to be applied post soldering.
The NC range is designed to achieve the maximum capacitance

range possible for a given component size and high voltage, but

100% coating of the chip after mounting, including especially

between the board and the component (between the mounting

pads) is mandatory to ensure flashover does not occur. To ensure

the coating achieves total coverage around all four exposed sides of

the chip, it may be necessary to slot or cut the PCB under the chip.

Knowles / Syfer application note AN0043 gives more information on

the coating requirements.
This range is fully compliant with the RoHS, REACH and WEEE

directives.

Industry wide standard multilayer ceramic capacitors are supplied

with a DC rating only. For AC use, Surge and Safety capacitors

with an AC rating of 250Vac have been available but the

capacitance range is limited as a result of the strict impulse and VP

requirements in the international standards. Knowles Technology

have developed a range which provides a solution for use at up to

250Vac 60Hz continuous use and provides for non safety-critical

applications where extended capacitance ranges are required.

Capacitance range

Case sizes 0805 to 2220 are available in both X7R and C0G/NP0

dielectrics with capacitances of up to 120nF. The capacitance

ranges are divided into four groups which are based on the

voltage coefficient of capacitance, C0G/NP0 which has negligible

capacitance shift with applied voltage and three subgroups of X7R.

Type A with ±30% maximum capacitance shift 0V-240V, Type B

with +30% to -50% maximum capacitance shift 0V-240V and Type

C with +30 to -80% maximum capacitance shift 0V to 240V.

Can be ordered as Syfer or Voltronics parts.

MLC capacitors with silver/palladium (Ag/Pd) terminations have often

been used in medical applications where non-magnetic components

are required, for example in MRI equipment - however, conventional

nickel barrier terminations are not suitable due to their magnetic

properties. In addition, RoHS requirement to use lead-free solders

would cause an increase in soldering temperatures and cause

solder leaching problems for the Ag/Pd termination. This has meant

alternatives have had to be found and one solution is to use a copper

barrier instead of a nickel barrier, with a tin finish on top. This non-

magnetic termination is offered with selected non-magnetic C0G/

NP0, High Q and X7R dielectrics, providing a fully non-magnetic

component (µr = 1.0000).
To meet high temperature 260ºC soldering reflow profiles as detailed

in J-STD-020, C0G/NP0 dielectrics are supplied with FlexiCap™ or

sintered termination whilst X7R dielectrics are supplied only with the

FlexiCap™ termination.
Available in chip or ribbon leaded format for certain case sizes

(consult sales office).

115Vac 400Hz capacitors for aerospace applications

Knowles has conducted reliability testing on standard surface mount

ceramic capacitors in order to ensure their performance at 115Vac

400Hz and the associated voltage and frequency transients required

by MIL-STD-704. Self heating will occur due to losses in the

capacitor but has been measured at less than 25°C rise with neutral

mounting conditions at room temperature.

Should be ordered as Syfer parts.

High Dielectric Withstand Voltage capacitors

(DWV range)

The DWV range is specifically designed for use in applications

where a high Dielectric Withstand Voltage (DWV) is required.
These parts have a continuous rated voltage of 500Vdc minimum

and are 100% DWV tested at the specified voltages to ensure

Flashover (arcing) across the surface does not occur.

●

High dielectric withstand voltages (DWV) of 1.5kV and 2.5kV

●

These ratings are based on an application of the DWV voltage for

a period of up to 60 seconds (where the charging current is limited
to 50mA)

●

Case sizes: 1206, 1210, 1808, 1812, 2220 and 2225

●

C0G/NP0 and X7R dielectrics

●

Capacitance values from 4.7pF to 120nF

The X8R dielectric will operate from -55°C to +150°C, with a

maximum capacitance change ±15% (without applied voltage).
The devices are available in sizes 0805 to 2225, with voltage ranges

from 25V to 3kV and capacitance values from 100pF to 1.8µF.
The capacitors have been developed by Knowles to meet demand

from various applications in the automotive and industrial markets

and in other electronic equipment exposed to high temperatures.

The increased use of electronics in automotive “under the hood”

applications has created demand for this product range.
The X8R range incorporates a specially formulated termination

with a nickel barrier finish that has been designed to enhance the

mechanical performance of these SMD chip capacitors in harsh

environments typically present in automotive applications.
For information, X8R dielectric contains lead within the ceramic

and parts rated less than 250Vdc are not compliant with the EU

2011/65/EU RoHS directive.

Capacitor Assemblies - ST, SM

C0G/NP0, X7R

Our complete testing facility is available for any additional military

testing requirements. Options available include thru-hole and

surface mount lead styles, to make them suitable for mounting on

ceramic substrates or epoxy PCBs.

Consult the Sales Office if your specific requirements exceed our

catalogue maximums (size, cap. value and voltage).

These ranges of both High Capacitance and High Voltage MLC

assemblies are available in C0G/NP0 and X7R dielectrics.

Low ESR and Low ESL are inherent in the design giving the

assemblies a high capability up to 1MHz and offer far superior

performance than either Aluminium or Tantalum electrolytic

capacitors.

They are designed for use in high power or high frequency

applications such as switched mode power supplies, DC-

DC converters, high capacitance discharge circuits and high

temperature filtering/decoupling. They can be made with up to

five same size chips with various lead configurations to safeguard

against thermal and mechanical stresses.

The commercial ‘ST’ series provide the highest capacitance available

and are 100% tested for Dielectric Withstanding Voltage, Insulation

Resistance, Capacitance and Dissipation Factor.

The ‘Cap-Rack’ (US Patent 6,058,004) is an assembly of individual

chip capacitors, bonded with high temperature epoxy. A ‘Cap-Rack’

can be made up of a pair, to as many as eight same size chips -

0603, 0805, 1005, 1206, 1210, 1808, 1812, 1825, 2221 and 2225 -

into one single component providing extended freedom for PCB space

utilization. Footprint dimensions can also vary to further optimize

board space usage. The patented design allows the chips to behave

as individual components, not as a single large ceramic mass, and

therefore reduces harmful thermal stress during assembly. Typical

applications are in Multi-line designs, Mobile phones, Automotive,

Computers, Network Devices and Medical products.
Electrical advantages include reduction in “cross talk”, to

insignificant levels, by elimination of capacitance coupling between

adjacent capacitors; the ability to combine resistors and inductors

within the ‘Cap-Rack’, as well as mixing and matching capacitance

values and dielectrics.
Mechanical advantages include reduced board area; easier to

handle; reduced placement cost; reduces component stress and

decreased cycle time. ‘Cap-Rack’ can also be used with traditional

pick and place equipment.
Consult the sales office for High Reliability versions and custom

designs, particularly for high voltage applications.

●

For dielectric characteristics see pages 2 to 4.

●

For dimensions of individual chips see page 20.

●

P and AW dimensions are dependant on the chips utilized in

the array.

●

Cap Arrays require drawings to specify length and width of array

and chip size used. Please contact the Sales Office.

The Syfer E01 and E07 ranges of feedthrough MLCC chip ‘C’ filters

are 3 terminal chip devices designed to offer reduced inductance

compared to conventional MLCCs when used in signal line filtering.
The filtered signal passes through the chip internal electrodes and

the noise is filtered to the grounded side contacts, resulting in

reduced length noise transmission paths.
Available in C0G/NP0 and X7R dielectrics, with current ratings

of 300mA, 1A, 2A, 3A and voltage ratings of 25Vdc to 200Vdc.

Also available with FlexiCap™ termination which is strongly

recommended for new designs.
Commonly used in automotive applications, a range qualified to

AECQ-200 is also available.

E03 X2Y Integrated Passive Components

The Syfer X2Y Integrated Passive Component is a 3 terminal EMI chip

device.
When used in balanced line applications, the revolutionary design

provides simultaneous line-to-line and line-to-ground filtering, using

a single ceramic chip. In this way, differential and common mode

filtering are provided in one device.
For unbalanced applications, it provides ultra low ESL (equivalent

series inductance). Capable of replacing 2 or more conventional

devices, it is ideal for balanced and unbalanced lines, twisted pairs

and dc motors, in automotive, audio, sensor and other applications.
Available in sizes from 0805 to 1812, these filters can prove

invaluable in meeting stringent EMC demands.

Manufactured by Knowles Capacitors under licence from X2Y Attenuators LLC.
