KEMET's KC-LINK surface mount capacitors are designed to meet the growing demand for fast switching wide band gap (WBG) semiconductors that operate at higher voltages, temperatures, and frequencies. By utilizing KEMET's robust and proprietary C0G/NPO base metal electrode (BME) dielectric system, these capacitors are well suited for power converters, inverters, snubbers, andresonators, where high efficiency is a primary concern. With extremely low effective series resistance (ESR) andvery low thermal resistance, KC-LINK capacitors can operate at very high ripple currents with no change in capacitance versus DC voltage, and negligible change in capacitance versus temperature. With an operating temperature of 150°C, these capacitors can be mounted close to fast switching semiconductors in high power density applications, which require minimal cooling.
