The X7R dielectric MLCC’s from AVX offer a ’temperature stable’ range of capacitors which can be used in a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. These capacitors are an excellent choice for a wide range of applications that have changes in capacitance due to applied voltages.

Capacitance ±15% from -55°C to +125°C
’Temperature stable’ range of capacitors

Can be used with a wide range of industrial applications where changes in capacitance occur

Ceramic Capacitors exhibit low parasitics and excellent EMI filtering capabilities. In a multilayer configuration, they display high capacitance values and various voltage ratings over a wide temperature range. Multiple styles are available such as MLCC chips, leaded capacitors, stacked capacitors and capacitors that utilise unique geometries.

X7R formulations are called "temperature stable" ceramics and fall into EIA Class II materials. X7R is the most popular of these intermediate dielectric constant materials. Its temperature variation of capacitance is within ±15% from -55°C to +125°C. This capacitance change is non-linear.

0805 Range

Nickel barrier terminations covered with a layer of plated Tin (NiSn). Applications include mobile phones, video and tuner designs, COG/NPO is the most popular formulation of the "temperature compensating", EIA Class I ceramic materials, X7R, X5R formulations are called "temperature stable" ceramics and fall into the EIA Class II materials, Y5V, Z5U formulations are for general purpose use in a limited temperature range, EIA Class II materials; these characteristics are ideal for decoupling applications.
