DESCRIPTION
The basic capacitor construction consists of ceramic dielectric materials processed into a tape with a typical thickness range from 0.025 to 0.076 mm. Metal electrode patterns are applied using a thick film screening process. Multiple layers are stacked and laminated in such a manner that electrodes are alternately exposed when the pattern is cut into individual chip capacitors. The capacitors are fired through a high temperature profile to mature the ceramic and metal into a homogeneous unit.
Metal end terminations are applied and fired to provide electrical connection between the individual layers. Tinned leads are attached using a solder. Encapsulation consists of a moisture resistant gold colour conformal epoxy coating that meets the flame requirements of “UL94V-0”.

FEATURES
• High capacitance per unit volume
• Low cost.

APPLICATIONS
  These conformally coated axial leaded capacitors are designed for commercial and industrial applications in four dielectrics, NP0 (ultra-stable), X7R (stable) and Z5U, Y5V (general purpose).
  Applications include timing, coupling/decoupling, signal comparison and biasing.
  Mono-axial™ capacitors are suitable for automatic insertion equipment.
