SMPS Stacked MLC Capacitors (SM9 Style) Technical Information on SMPS Capacitors AVX is the original inventor of large capacitance value, stacked MLCC capacitors con- structed with DIP leads. Similar to SM-product, the SM9-sytle, encapsulated Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) capacitors offer high CV product and extremely low ESR and ESL. SM9-style capacitors offer additional mechanical and thermal protection and are recommended for applications where they will undergo extreme high frequency vibration or mechanical shock. Encapsulated version allows for strapping the parts or bonding to the board on the perimeter of the plastic case and thus preventing oscil- lation and lead breakage. In addition to traditionally offered COG (Class I) and X7R (Class II) type dielectrics, AVX introduces another class I, temperature compensated N1500 dielectric characterized with very low dissipation factor. Thanks to considerably higher relative dielectric constant of N1500 dielectric, the CV product is more than doubled in comparison to ultra-stable COG dielectric, resulting in a significant reduction in the size of capacitor and a significant improvement of volumetric efficiency. The typical applications for different type dielectrics are: COG: High frequency resonant capacitors, avionic AC line filters (400Hz to 800Hz), snubbers, timing circuits, high current repetitive discharge N1500: Avionic AC line filters (400Hz to 800Hz), snubbers, high current repetitive discharge, capacitive temperature compensation X7R: General filtering, input and output filters in DC/DC converters, bulk filters, DC link capacitors, motor drive filters, high current non-repetitive discharge Not RoHS Compliant GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ALL DIELECTRIC TYPES Operating Temperature Range Insulation Resistance (125C, rated DC voltage) -55 to +125C 10KM min. or 100M-F min. whichever is less Voltage Ratings Thermal Shock Capabilities 50VDC through 500VDC (+125C) 5 cycles (-55C to +125C) Dielectric Withstanding Voltage Life Test Capabilities (1000 hours) 250% rated voltage for 5 seconds with 30 to 50mA charging current 200% rated voltage at +125C (500 Volt units 600VDC) (500 Volt units 750VDC) Insulation Resistance (25C, rated DC voltage) 100KM min. or 1000M-F min. whichever is less GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ALL DIELECTRIC TYPES C0G Dielectric N1500 X7R Dielectric Capacitance Range Capacitance Range Capacitance Range 0.01F to 15F 0.018F to 33F 0.1F to 390F (+25C, 1.0 0.2Vrms at 1kHz) (+25C, 1.0 0.2Vrms at 1kHz) (+25C, 1.0 0.2Vrms at 1kHz) Capacitance Tolerances Capacitance Tolerances Capacitance Tolerances 5%, 10%, 20% 5%, 10%, 20% 10%, 20%, +80%, -20% Temperature Characteristic Temperature Characteristic Temperature Characteristic 0 30 ppm/C -1500 250 ppm/C 15% Dissipation Factor Dissipation Factor Dissipation Factor 0.15% max. 0.15% max. 2.5% max.
