KEMET’s X5R dielectric features an 85°C maximum operating temperature and is considered “semi-stable.” The Electronics Components, Assemblies & Materials Association (EIA) characterizes X5R dielectric as a Class II material. Components of this classification are fixed, ceramic dielectric capacitors suited for bypass and decoupling applications or for frequency discriminating circuits where Q and stability of capacitance characteristics are not critical. X5R exhibits a predictable change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage and boasts a minimal change in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±15% from −55°C to +85°C.
