GREENVILLE, SC - The Kemet Corp. has introduced four new surface-mount MIL-PRF-123 space-level ceramic capacitors. The company claims that its M123A13BXB105KZ is the only 50V 1uF SMD ceramic capacitor in the marketplace qualified to the MIL-PRF-123 specification.

The products were developed in response to a Department of Defense request for ceramic capacitors that meet the space-level requirements of MIL-PRF-123. The company reports that it completed the MIL-PRF-123 qualification for the product, which included a claimed 4,000 hours of life testing at twice rated voltage at 125^oC.

"This product announcement is an extension of Kemet's vision to become the number one preferred supplier of capacitors to the Defense and Aerospace market, and part of our larger commitment to be a technology leader in the industry," said company CEO Per Loof.
