THICKNESS AND PACKAGING TYPES/QUANTITY
FEATURES
■ Large capacitance at low cost because of the use of base-
metal materials
■ Terminations are made of metal highly resistant to migrations.
■ Heat generation is low at high frequency because of low
dielectric loss.
■ Compared with aluminum electrolytic capacitors, capacitance
can be lower to obtain the same smoothing performance.
■ Ceramic capacitor has no polarity and ensures long life time.
Ideal replacement for tantalum capacitors.
APPLICATIONS
■ DC-DC converter
■ Noise elimination for LCD bias circuit (Use for only alumina,
paper or glass epoxy board.)
■ Reflow soldering only

CHARACTERISTICS (REFERENCE DATA)
Selection of Ceramic Capacitors
When selecting capacitors, consider the DC voltage characteristics (AC & DC) and aging characteristics.
ALLOWABLE RIPPLE CURRENT
Ripple current should be less than “Allowable Ripple Current Value” shown in the following table, and temperature rise of the
chip surface (T) should be below 20°C.
When AC and DC voltage are superimposed, keep the peak value of the voltage within the rated voltage.
