KEMET Corp.: DSCC-Approved Ceramic Surface Mount Capacitors

June 7, 2010

KEMET Corp. recently introduced new DSCC-approved (Defense Supply Center, Columbus, Ohio) surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) in smaller case sizes for defense and aerospace applications. KEMET is approved to DSCC control drawings 03029 and 03028 for EIA 0402 and EIA 0603 case size surface mount MLCCs in BR and BX dielectrics. These drawings were developed in response to growing demands within the defense and aerospace industries for smaller case size MLCCs not currently offered in MIL-PRF-55681. KEMET's approved capacitors meet the requirements, specifications and standards outlined in each drawing, as well as all referenced provisions per MIL-PRF-55681. These DSCC-approved capacitors are available immediately.

"Printed circuit board real estate is becoming more and more valuable as applications require additional functionality," said Jeff Franklin, Specialty Product manager. "The development of these DSCC small case devices demonstrates KEMET's continued commitment to address the growing concern for valuable board space in the defense and aerospace industry."
