IECQ-CECC ranges Speciaty High Re. and approved parts A range of speciaist, high reiabiity, mutiayer ceramic capacitors for use in critica or high reiabiity environments. A fuy tested / approved and avaiabe with a range of suitabe termination options, incuding tin/ ead pating and Knowes FexiCap. Ranges incude: 1. Range tested and approved in accordance with IECQ-CECC QC32100. 2. Range quaified to the requirements of Knowes detai specification S02A-0100 (based on ESCC 3009). C0G/NP0 and X7R - 16V to 1kV High Reiabiity Chip Capacitors A range of MLC chip capacitors in Utra stabe EIA Cass I and II dieectrics with specia testing for ong term reiabiity. They are designed for optimum reiabiity; burned in at eevated votage and temperature and 100% physicay and eectricay inspected to ascertain conformance to strict performance criteria. Units may be tested in accordance with MIL-PRF-55681, MIL-PRF-123, MIL- PRF-49467 or customer SCD. Designed for surface mount appication with nicke barrier terminations making them suitabe for soder wave and refow soder board attachment as we as vapor phase attachment for part sizes 2225 or smaer. Siver-paadium terminations are aso avaiabe for hybrid use with conductive epoxy. C0G/NP0 chips are used in precision circuitry requiring Cass I stabiity and exhibit inear temperature coefficient, ow oss and stabe eectrica properties with time, votage and frequency. Cass II X7R chips are used as decouping, by-pass, fitering and transient votage suppression eements and exhibit +/-15% temperature coefficient and predictabe variation of eectrica properties with time, temperature and votage. C0G/NP0 and X7R - 16Vdc to 10kVdc
