High-Voltage Ceramic Capacitors
with Internal Arc Protection

October 6, 2015 By Lee Teschler

GREENVILLE, S.C., Oct. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — KEMET Corporation (NYSE: KEM), a leading global supplier of electronic components, today announced the world’s smallest high voltage surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with internal arc protection. The EIA 0603 case size has been added to KEMET’s High Voltage ArcShield product portfolio with voltage ratings up to 1,000 volts.

kemet capHigh voltage capacitors are typically limited by size due to arcing concerns. KEMET’s patented ArcShield technology is designed to suppress arc-over events, while allowing for the smallest available footprint and highest capacitance values in the industry.

KEMET High Voltage MLCCs are utilized in a variety of applications including high voltage coupling, DC blocking, snubber circuits in power supplies and high voltage noise reduction circuits. Available with flexible termination technology, ArcShield is offered in both commercial and automotive grades.
