KEMET Power Solutions (KPS) Commercial Series stacked capacitors utilize proprietary lead frame technology to vertically stack one or two multilayer ceramic chip capacitors into a compact SMT package. The connected lead frame mechanically isolates the capacitors from the PCB, resulting in excellent mechanical and thermal stress performance. This isolation also addresses audible microphonic noise that may occur when bias voltage is applied. Compared to conventional SMT MLCC devices, the dual-chip stack delivers up to twice the capacitance in the same or smaller footprint. KPS series capacitors offer up to 10mm board flex capability, are environmentally friendly, and RoHS compliant. These devices feature X7R dielectric, are compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes, and offer lower ESR, ESL, and higher ripple current capability compared to other dielectric solutions. Combined with the stability of X7R dielectric, KEMET's KPS series devices exhibit predictable capacitance variation over time and voltage, with minimal capacitance change relative to ambient temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±15% over the temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Applications

• Typical applications include smoothing circuits, DC/DC converters, power supplies (input/output filters), noise suppression (piezoelectric/mechanical), circuits directly connected to batteries or power sources, critical safety-related circuits without (integrated) current limiting, and any application subject to high PCB flex or thermal cycling. Markets include industrial, automotive, and telecommunications.
