Knowles Capacitors C0G and NP0 Non-Magnetic MLCCs

Knowles Syfer C0G and NP0 Non-Magnetic Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors are made from highly stable, low-loss dielectric formulations and have high RF power handling capability. These MLCCs feature special silver-palladium termination and proprietary ceramic formulations that guarantee consistent non-magnetic performance. The C0G and NP0 MLCCs are RoHS compliant and are available in all industry common case sizes. C0G and NP0 capacitors are available either with standard termination or can be fitted with ribbon leads, and find application in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), navigation and dead reckoning, and semiconductor processing where electron-beam systems are utilized.

A pat down at airport security might be unavoidable after surgery. Just hope it’s the ferrous metal implant and not a forgotten instrument setting off the metal detectors. Knowles Syfer C0G/ and NP0 Non-Magnetic Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors are designed from quality material with a silver palladium termination and proprietary ceramic formulations for high performance characteristics of nonferrous metals. The copper barrier with tin finish is RoHS compliant for a lead free and leach resistant solder. Available in all industry standard case sizes, the full range of ceramic capacitors are suitable for pick and place PCB assembly. With ultra-low loss, high charge, and high RF handling capability, the nonmagnetic MLCCs are ideal for applications where minimal power loss and high stability is required, such as electronic test equipment, Implantable medical devices, navigation, MRIs and NMRs.
