ArcShield High Voltage Surface Mount Capacitors

Update Time: 2019-12-19 22:59:18

KEMET's "ArcShield" High Voltage Surface Mount Capacitors in X7R dielectric prevent surface arc-over discharge in high-voltage applications. The ArcShield High Voltage Surface Mount Capacitors feature the "ArcShield" Technology (Patent Pending), a robust and unique internal shield electrode system that prohibits arc-over while increasing available capacitance. Developed on the principle of a partial Faraday cage, "ArcShield" capacitors prevent the arc from forming and significantly reduce resulting failures.

KEMET Corporation is a world leader in the manufacture of the solid tantalum capacitor, the fourth largest manufacturer of the multilayer ceramic capacitor, and a leader in the development of the solid aluminum capacitor. The company's strategy is to be the preferred capacitor supplier at each of the world's most successful electronic companies.
