Radial Through-Hole Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors

Goldmax, 300, Radial, Conformally Coated, X8L Dielectric, 25 – 50 VDC (Commercial and Automotive Grade)

Electrical Parameters/Characteristics

Item Parameters/Characteristics

Operating Temperature Range: −55°C to +150°C

Capacitance Change with Reference to +25°C

and 0 VDC Applied (TCC):

±15%(−55ºC to +125ºC) +15%, −40% (+125°C to +150°C)

Aging Rate (Maximum % Cap Loss/Decade Hour): 3.0%

Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:

250% of rated voltage

(5±1 seconds and charge/discharge not exceeding 50 mA at +25°C)

Dissipation Factor (DF) Maximum Limit at +25ºC:

2.5%

Insulation Resistance (IR) Limit at +25°C:

1,000 megohm microfarads or 100 GΩ

(Rated voltage applied for 120±5 seconds at +25°C)

To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.

Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:

1 MHz ±100 kHz and 1.0 V

rms

±0.2 V if capacitance ≤ 1,000 pF

1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 V

rms

±0.2 V if capacitance > 1,000 pF

Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known

as Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."
