The NP0 (Type 1) high voltage, ultra-stable ceramic chip MLCC capacitor series from SRT Microcéramique offers a vast range of options to suit any demand, including capacitance between 0.47pF to 47nF across a range of chip sizes from 1206 to 8060, selection of tolerances (±0.25pF, ±0.5pF, ±1%. ±2%, ±5%, ±10%, ±20% and -20% to +80%), voltages (2kV, 3kV, 4kV, 5kV and 10kV) and a wide range of terminations. As with all SRT-MC components, the NP0 capacitors are popular in safety-critical industries thanks to their excellent quality and reliability, as well as zero ageing rate up to 10000 hours, zero voltage coefficient of capacitance and change of capacitance with frequency, and very low-temperature coefficient of capacitance. Their operating temperature is between -55°C and +125°C.
