Kyocera's series of Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors
are designed to meet a wide variety of needs. We offer
a complete range of products for both general and
specialized applications, including CM series for general-
purpose, CT series for low profile, CA series for arrays,
CL series for ICs, CF series for high-voltage, and DM
series for automotive.
Features
We have factories worldwide in order to supply our global customer
bases quickly and efficiently and to maintain our reputation as one
of the highest−volume producers in the industry.
All our products are highly reliable due to their monolithic structure
of high−purity and superfine uniform ceramics and their integral
internal electrodes.
By combining superior manufacturing technology and materials
with high dielectric constants, we produce extremely compact
components with exceptional specifications.
Our stringent quality control in every phase of production from
material procurement to shipping ensures consistent manufacturing
and super quality.
Kyocera components are available in a wide choice of dimensions,
temperature characteristics, rated voltages, and terminations to
meet specific configurational requirements.

Surface Mounting Information
Dimensions for recommended typical land
Since the amount of solder (size of fillet) to be used has direct
influence on the capacitor after mounting, the sufficient consideration
is necessary.
When the amounts of solder is too much, the stress that a capacitor
receives becomes larger. It may become the cause of a crack in
the capacitor. When the land design of printed wiring board is
considered, it is necessary to set up the form and size of land pattern
so that the amount of solder is suitable.

Design of printed circuit and Soldering
The recommended fillet height shall be 1/2 to 1/3 of the thickness of
capacitors. When mounting two or more capacitors in the common
land, it is necessary to separate the land with the solder resist strike
so that it may become the exclusive land of each capacitor.

Mounting Design
The chip could crack if the PCB warps during processing after the chip has been soldered.
(Not recommended) (Ideal)
Crack
Support pin
(Not recommended) (Ideal)
Recommended chip position on PCB to minimize stress from PCB warpage
Actual Mounting
1) If the position of the vacuum nozzle is too low, a large force may be applied to the chip capacitor during mounting, resulting in cracking.
2) During mounting, set the nozzle pressure to a static load of 100 to 300 gf.
3) To minimize the shock of the vaccum nozzle, provide a support pin on the back of the PCB to minimize PCB flexture.
4) Bottom position of pick up nozzle should be adjusted to the top surface of a substrate which camber is corrected.
5) To reduce the possibility of chipping and cracks, minimize vibration to chips stored in a bulk case.
6)
The discharge pressure must be adjusted to the part size. Verify the pressure during setup to avoid fracturing or cracking the chips capacitors.
Resin Mold
1) If a large amount of resin is used for molding the chip, cracks may occur due to contraction stress during curing. To avoid such cracks, use
a low shrinkage resin.
2) The insulation resistance of the chip will degrade due to moisture absorption. Use a low moisture absorption resin.
3) Check carefully that the resin does not generate a decomposition gas or reaction gas during the curing process or during normal storage.
Such gases may crack the chip capacitor or damage the device itself.

Soldering Method
1) Ceramic is easily damaged by rapid heating or cooling. If some heat shock is unavoidable, preheat enough to limit the temperature
difference (Delta T) to within 130 degree Celsius.
2) The product size 1.0×0.5mm to 3.2×1.6mm can be used in reflow and wave soldering, and the product size of bigger than 3.2×1.6mm, or
smaller than 1.0×0.5mm, and capacitor arrays can be used in reflow.
Circuit shortage and smoking can be created by using capacitors which are used neglecting the above caution.
3) Please see our recommended soldering conditions.
4) In case of using Sn-Zn Solder, please contact us in advance.
5) The following condition is recommended for spot heater application.

Circuit Design
1. Once application and assembly environments have been checked, the capacitor may be used in conformance with the rating and
performance which are provided in both the catalog and the specifications. Use exceeding that which is specified may result in inferior
performance or cause a short, open, smoking, or flaming to occur, etc.
2. Please consult the manufacturer in advance when the capacitor is used in devices such as: devices which deal with human life, i.e. medical
devices; devices which are highly public orientated; and devices which demand a high standard of liability.
Accident or malfunction of devices such as medical devices, space equipment and devices having to do with atomic power could generate
grave consequence with respect to human lives or, possibly, a portion of the public. Capacitors used in these devices may require high
reliability design different from that of general purpose capacitors.
3.
Please use the capacitors in conformance with the operating temperature provided in both the catalog and the specifications.
Be especially cautious not to exceed the maximum temperature. In the situation the maximum temperature set forth in both the catalog and
specifications is exceeded, the capacitor’s insulation resistance may deteriorate, power may suddenly surge and short−circuit may occur.
The capacitor has a loss, and may self−heat due to equivalent series resistance when alternating electric current is passed therethrough. As this
effect becomes especially pronounced in high frequency circuits, please exercise caution.
When using the capacitor in a (self−heating) circuit, please make sure the surface of the capacitor remains under the maximum temperature for
usage. Also, please make certain temperature rises remain below 20°C.
4. Please keep voltage under the rated voltage which is applied to the capacitor. Also, please make certain the peak voltage remains below the
rated voltage when AC voltage is super−imposed to the DC voltage.
In the situation where AC or pulse voltage is employed, ensure average peak voltage does not exceed the rated voltage.
Exceeding the rated voltage provided in both catalog and specifications may lead to defective withstanding voltage or, in worst case
situations, may cause the capacitor to smoke or flame.
5. When the capacitor is to be employed in a circuit in which there is continuous application of a high frequency voltage or a steep pulse
voltage, even though it is within the rated voltage, please inquire to the manufacturer.
In the situation the capacitor is to be employed using a high frequency AC voltage or a extremely fast rising pulse voltage, even though it is
within the rated voltage, it is possible capacitor reliability will deteriorate.
6.
It is a common phenomenon of high−dielectric products to have a deteriorated amount of static electricity due to the application of DC voltage.
Due caution is necessary as the degree of deterioration varies depending on the quality of capacitor materials, capacity, as well as the load voltage
at the time of operation.
7. Do not use the capacitor in an environment where it might easily exceed the respective provisions concerning shock and vibration specified
in the catalog and specifications.
In addition, it is a common piezo phenomenon of high dielectric products to have some voltage due to vibration or to have noise due to
voltage change. Please contact sales in such case.
8. If the electrostatic capacity value of the delivered capacitor is within the specified tolerance, please consider this when designing the
respective product in order that the assembled product function appropriately.
9. Please contact us upon using conductive adhesives.
Storage
1. If the component is stored in minimal packaging (a heat−sealed or chuck−type plastic bag), the bag should be kept closed. Once the bag
has been opened, reseal it or store it in a desiccator.
2. Keep storage place temperature +5 to +35 degree C, humidity 45 to 70% RH.
3. The storage atmosphere must be free of gas containing sulfur and chlorine. Also, avoid exposing the product to saline moisture. If the
product is exposed to such atmospheres, the terminals will oxidize and solderability will be effected.
4. Precautions 1) to 3) apply to chip capacitors packaged in carrier tapes and bulk cases.
5. The solderability is assured for 12 months from our shipping date (six months for silver palladium) if the above storage precautions are
followed.
6. Chip capacitors may crack if exposed to hydrogen (H2) gas while sealed or if coated with silicon, which generates hydrogen gas.
