C0G Capacitors with KONNEKT™ Technology

KEMET's capacitors offer an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C

Image of KEMET's C0G with KONNEKT Technology CapacitorsKEMET's C0G surface-mount capacitors with KONNEKT technology are designed for high-efficiency and high-density power applications. The KONNEKT high-density packaging technology uses an innovative transient liquid phase sintering (TLPS) material to create a surface-mount multichip solution for high-density packaging. By utilizing KEMET's robust and proprietary C0G base metal electrode (BME) dielectric system, these capacitors are well suited for power converters, inverters, snubbers, and resonators where high efficiency is a primary concern.

With an operating temperature range up to +125°C, these capacitors can be mounted close to fast-switching semiconductors in high power-density applications, which require minimal cooling. C0G with KONNEKT technology also exhibits high mechanical robustness compared to other dielectric technologies, allowing the capacitor to be mounted without the use of metal frames. The C0G with KONNEKT series complements the KC-LINK with KONNEKT series by offering a wider voltage range and operating temperature range up to +125°C.
