KPS-MCC High-Temperature SMPS Stacks (Industrial)

KEMET Military Case Code (KPS-MCC) High-Temperature SMPS Ceramic Stacked Capacitors combine a proprietary and robust C0G/NPO base metal electrode dielectric system with a durable lead frame technology, ideal for high-temperature and high-power SMPS applications. KPS-MCC capacitors withstand harsh industrial environments, such as down-hole oil exploration and automotive/avionics engine compartment circuitry. The series is constructed with large chip multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), horizontally stacked and secured to a lead frame termination system using a high melting point solder alloy. The lead frame isolates the MLCCs from the PCB while obtaining a parallel circuit configuration. Mechanical and thermal stress performance is improved by mechanically isolating the capacitors from the PCB, while the parallel circuit configuration allows for bulk capacitance in the same or smaller design footprint.
