KEMET SMD Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor 0.22 uF 500V 2225

The KEMET C2225C224KCRACTU is a commercial-grade, surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for high-voltage applications. It features a robust X7R dielectric, classified by the EIA as a Class II material, which offers a stable and predictable performance across varying conditions. This capacitor is ideally suited for bypass, decoupling, and frequency-discriminating circuits where the quality factor (Q) and absolute capacitance stability are not the primary critical factors.

Its key strength lies in its dependable operation within a wide temperature range, from -55°C to +125°C, making it a versatile component for demanding environments. The X7R dielectric exhibits minimal change in capacitance with ambient temperature fluctuations and provides a consistent performance over time and under applied voltage, ensuring long-term reliability in your circuits.
