Ceramic temperature coefficient.

The eia rs 198 standard codes ceramic class 1 capacitors with a three character code that indicates temperature coefficient. The second character gives the multiplier of the temperature coefficient. The first letter gives the significant figure of the change in capacitance over temperature temperature coefficient α in ppm k. Very shortly after an engineer s first exposure to mlccs they are quickly confronted with an alphabet soup of letters and numbers.

The meaning of those letters was created the electronic industries alliance standard number 198 which. 30 ppm c 25 c reference within the temperature range of 55 c to 125 c. Class 1 ceramic temperature coefficient. Fine ceramics also known as advanced ceramics have low coefficients of thermal expansion less than half those of stainless steels.

A temperature coefficient describes the relative change of a physical property that is associated with a given change in temperature for a property r that changes when the temperature changes by dt the temperature coefficient α is defined by the following equation. C0g x7r x5r u2j etc. Temperature compensating type multilayer ceramic capacitors have a small temperature coefficient of electrostatic capacitance max. Popular class 2 ceramic dielectrics include x7r which as a temperature range of 55 to 125 c with a δc c0 of 15 y5v which as a temperature range of 30 to 85 c with a δc c0 of 22 82 and z5u which has a temperature range of 10 to 85 c and a δc c0 22 56.

What do they all mean and what do they refer to. Ceramic temperature coefficients specify how much a mlcc s capacitance will change with applied temperature. In 1 k or k 1. Here α has the dimension of an inverse temperature and can be expressed e g.

Fine ceramics typically have a low coefficient of thermal expansion which indicates their expansion ratio due to changes in temperature. The coefficient ratio of thermal expansion indicates how much a material expands per 1 2 2 rise in temperature.
