Types MC and MCN Multilayer RF Capacitors
High-Frequency, High-Power, High-Voltage Chips with Nonmagnetic Option
Rugged exibility and compatibility with FR4 boards make Type
MC and MCN capacitors ideal for use where other multilayer
caps aren’t recommended because of cracking. The natural
mica dielectric retains its high-Q to many megahertz, so higher
frequency applications are limited by the circuit inductance,
not the Type MC capacitor. Nonmagnetic Type MCN chips are
available for MRI and other high frequency applications that often
use more expensive porcelain ceramic chips.
Highlights Applications

Withstanding voltage is two
times the rated voltage between 5
seconds and without damage: with
50 mA or less current.
Life Test: Subject capacitors to
125 ºC ±3 ºC with 1.5 times rated
voltage applied for 2000 (+72, –0)
hours. There will be no visual dam-
age and the capacitors will meet the
limits of the table below.
Vibration Resistance: Subject
the capacitors to simple harmonic
motion with an amplitude of 0.06
inches; vary the frequency uniformly
from 10 to 55 Hz and return to 10 Hz,
all in one minute. Repeat that cycle
continuously for two hours in
After-Test Limits
each of three mutually perpendicular
directions. There will be no visual
damage and the capacitors will meet
the limits of the table below.
Bending Test: Mount the capaci-
tor as shown below and press the ram
bar until a 2.0 mm deflection is
achieved. There will be no visual
damage and the capacitors will meet
the limits of methods JIS 5102 8.11
and AEC-Q200-005 without crack-
ing or visual damage.
Moisture Resistance: Subject
the capacitors to 40 ±2 ºC at 90 to
95% humidity for 500 (+24, –0)
hours. Return to room ambient for
24 hours. There will be no visual
damage and the capacitors will meet
the limits of the table below.
Temperature Coefcient and
Drift: Measure the capacitors’
capacitance at 25 ºC, –55 ºC, 25 ºC,
125 ºC and at 25 ºC — all ±3 ºC —
after stabilizing at each temperature.
The capacitor will meet the limits of
the Characteristic table in Ordering
Information.
Heat Resistance: Subject the
capacitors to 125 ±2 ºC for 2 (+1,–0)
hours. Then the insulation resistance
will be no less than 5GΩ.
Solderability: After 2 ±0.5 sec-
onds in molten solder with Sn-PB
between molten and solder at 235 ±5
ºC, solder coverage will be no less
than 75% when examined at 10X
magnication for ow soldering.
Solder Heat Resistance: Sub-
ject the capacitors to molten solder
at 250±5 ºC for 5±0.5 seconds after
10 to 30 seconds pre-heating at 80
to 120 ºC. There will be no visual
damage and the capacitors will meet
the limits of the table below.
