Goldmax X8L 150°C Extensions

KEMET increases it’s available capacitance range to its Goldmax X8L product portfolio.

KEMET is pleased to announce the addition of capacitance values to our s Goldmax conformally coated radial through-hole ceramic capacitors in X8L dielectric portfolio in Commercial and Automotive Grade. Driven by the demand for a more robust and reliable component, X8L dielectric capacitors were developed for critical applications where reliability at higher operating temperatures are a concern. These capacitors are widely used in automotive circuits as well as general high temperature applications. X8L exhibits a in capacitance with respect to time and voltage, and boasts a minimal change in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature up to +125°C. Beyond +125°C X8L displays a wider variation in capacitance. Capacitance change is limited to ±15% from −55°C to +125°C and +15, −40% from +125°C to +150°C.
