Product Overview

The KEMET Y5V capacitor has a maximum operating temperature of 85°C and is considered "general purpose." The Y5V capacitor is a class III material. Components of this category are stable, ceramic capacitors suitable for bypassing and isolation or other applications where dielectric losses, high insulation resistance, and capacitance stability are not of primary importance. The Y5V exhibits predictable changes in capacitance with respect to time and voltage and demonstrates wide variations in capacitance with respect to ambient temperature. The capacitance change is limited to +22%, −82% from −30°C to +85°C.
