Miniature MLCCs maintain high stability

MLCCs in Kyocera AVX’s KGU series use a Class 1 C0G (NP0) ceramic dielectric, ensuring stable operation across a wide temperature range. Offered in four miniature chip sizes, these capacitors have a temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) of 0 ±30 ppm/°C and exhibit virtually no voltage coefficient.

KGU series MLCCs come in EIA 01005, 0402, 0603, and 0805 chip sizes, with rated voltages ranging from 16 V to 250 V and capacitances from 0.1 pF to 100 pF. These components offer tolerances as tight as ±0.05 pF and operate across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. According to the manufacturer, the KGU parts also provide ultra-low ESR, high power, high Q, and self-resonant frequencies.

Optimized for communications, these capacitors are suitable for filter networks, high-Q frequency sources, coupling, and DC blocking circuits. They can be used in cellular base stations, Wi-Fi networks, wireless devices, as well as broadband wireless, satellite communications, and public safety radio systems.

KGU series capacitors are available through Kyocera AVX’s distributor network, including DigiKey, Mouser, and Richardson RFPD.
