Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor
COG (NPO) Series
  
 
INTRODUCTION:  
The COG (NPO) series is a high Q, low K temperature compensating type of dielectric with stable electrical properties under varying voltage, temperature, frequency and time. The series is suitable for circuits requiring low loss, circuits with pulse, timing circuits and for tuning applications. 
 
FEATURES:  
 Very low temperature coefficient  
 Stable electrical characteristics  
 High capacitance and miniature size  
 Consistent dimensions and surface finish  
 Engineered for Automatic feeding and insertion

COG (NPO) has the least value of temperature coefficient. 
The temperature coefficient characteristics is illustrated in Figure 1.1. 
Figure 1.2 illustrates the variation pattern of Dissipation Factor with respect to temperature.  
The AC Voltage coefficient and DC Voltage coefficient are illustrated in Figures 1.3 and 1.4 respectively.
