KYOCERA AVX KAF, KAM, and KGM High CV MLCCs

KYOCERA AVX High CV Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors have extremely high Capacitance/Voltage (CV) with low ESR for general-purpose decoupling and filtering. The High CV MLCCs consist of the series KAF, KAM, and KGM. The KAF and KAM high CV ceramic capacitors are AEC-Q200 compliant, and the KAF Series uses FLEXITERM technology. KGM Series are general purposes MLCCs useful for a wide variety of applications. The high CV multilayer ceramic capacitors are available in a wide range of EIA case sizes ranging from 01005 inches to 2220 inches and have a voltage rating range from 2.5VDC to 3kVDC. These MLCCs are ideal for various applications, including but not limited to automotive applications, high flexure stress circuit boards, and variable temperature applications.

You might just feel thunderstruck when you see how AC and DC applications can benefit from the exceptional volumetric efficiency of Kyocera AVX Hi CV multi-layer ceramic capacitors. The Hi CV MLCCs offer some of the highest capacitances on the market, ranging from 0.1pF to 100μF, combined with voltage ratings from 4V to 100V and a variety of SMD packages with EIA case sizes from 01005 to 2225.  The non-polarized capacitors are suitable for decoupling, filtering, and bypassing in applications such as AC to DC and DC to DC converters and are an ideal replacement for bulky electrolytic capacitors. They’re offered with optional flexible terminations for robust performance in high shock and vibration applications, and they’re available with AEC-Q200 variants for use in automotive systems.
