Kemet is expanding its SMD capacitor product portfolio with KEMET's new “across the line” SMP255 capacitor series in safety class X2 and the optimized “line to ground” SMP253E series of RFI suppression capacitors (safety class Y2). The capacitors impress with their vibration resistance in accordance with IEC 60068 2-6/2-27, their very long service life, a safe failure mode and their power stability. The capacitors achieve the highest safety standard by using epoxy-impregnated paper as a dielectric. In addition, excellent self-healing properties minimize the risk of short circuits, and the use of advanced materials also ensures maximum tightness and therefore particular stability against ionization, corona effect, and partial discharge. Surface Mount Technology (SMT) enables reduced assembly time, saves space on the PCB and reduces parasitic effects typical of Through-Hole Technology (THT). The capacitors are lead-free and RoHS-compliant, as well as THB-tested and AEC-Q200-certified. This makes them ideal for applications in the automotive sector, such as in infotainment and comfort equipment or safety systems, but they are also ideal for use in the medical and industrial sectors.
