Miniature MLCCs deliver high capacitance and stability for automotive systems

April 9, 2026

The KAM series from KYOCERA AVX provides high-value capacitance in miniature surface-mount packages, utilizing X7T dielectric to ensure stability in demanding automotive electronic control units and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

KYOCERA AVX Components supplies the KAM family of multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) intended for space-constrained automotive circuits. These AEC-Q200-qualified capacitors employ X7T dielectric material to maintain performance across a wide operating temperature range, suitable for the rigorous conditions found in vehicles.

 

The series offers high capacitance values in miniature footprints to support the densification of automotive electronic control systems. High capacitance-to-volume ratio allows engineers to reduce the component count and board space required for power supply smoothing and decoupling.

 

The capacitors feature tin plating on the terminations to ensure reliable solderability during board assembly.
