KEMET HiQ-CBR Series, RF & Microwave, Commercial and Automotive Grade

KEMET’s HiQ CBR RF Capacitor Series
features a copper electrode BME (Base Metal Electrode) system that offers ultra-low ESR and High Q in the VHF, UHF,
and microwave frequency bands. Low ESR allows for higher RF currents which are ideal for applications such as
cellular base stations and telecommunication networks, V2X, safety systems, power train and automotive communication systems.

CBR Series capacitors exhibit no change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage, and boast a negligible change in
capacitance with reference to ambient temperature.

KEMET’s HiQ CBR RF capacitors are characterized using Modelithics ™ substrate scalable models and is available in most
EDA software. Contact KEMET Sales for details on accessing models.
