3825 Series X1/Y2 Safety-Certified MLCCs

Knowles Syfer 3825 series X1/Y2 safety-certified MLCCs were designed to address the rise in automotive electrification, renewable energy systems, and high-density industrial power supplies, which drive the demand for power electronics that deliver more performance in less space, all without compromising safety or long-term reliability. To support these demands, Knowles has expanded their X1/Y2 safety-certified surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) portfolio. The 3825 case size offers enhanced capacitance options, optimized creepage distance, and proven durability for high-voltage applications.

Features

• Enhanced safety ratings: Industry-leading Class X1/Y2 certification with an extended capacitance range up to 18 nF at 310 V_AC for robust interference suppression
• Optimized high-voltage footprint: Minimum 7 mm creepage distance in a 3825 case size, enabling safe operation in high-voltage environments while maximizing PCB real estate
• Superior environmental durability: Rated for 1500 V_AC and certified to Humidity Grade IIIB (85°C/85% RH for 1,000 hours), ensuring long-term reliability in harsh, moisture-prone conditions
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualified with flexible terminations to withstand mechanical flexure and thermal shock from -55°C to +125°C
