Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor
X7R Series
  
INTRODUCTION:  
THE X7R (BX) dielectric has moderate K and is temperature stable. It shows moderate change in electrical properties under changing temperature, voltage and frequency and is suitable for bypassing coupling and frequency discrimination circuit applications. 
FEATURES:  
Stable electrical characteristics 
High capacitance and miniature size  
Consistent dimensions and surface finish  
Engineered for Automatic feeding and insertion

X7R has moderate value of temperature coefficient. 
The temperature coefficient characteristics is illustrated in Figure 2.1.  
Figure 2.2 illustrates the variation pattern of Dissipation Factor with respect to temperature.  
The DC Voltage coefficient and AC Voltage coefficient are illustrated in Figures 2.3 and 2.4 respectively.
