KGN05BR50G156MH

Overview

The KYOCERA AVX KGN05BR50G156MH is a three-terminal feedthrough capacitor designed for surface mount applications. It utilizes X5R dielectric material and features a 0402 (1005 metric) case size. The component offers a capacitance of 15 µF with a tolerance of ±20%. It has a DC voltage rating of 4 VDC and supports a current handling capacity of 2 A. The maximum DC resistance is specified as 30 mΩ. The operating temperature range extends from -55°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Three-terminal feedthrough architecture providing enhanced high-frequency noise suppression through low inductance design.
• Surface mount construction in a compact 0402 footprint, facilitating integration into space-constrained circuit boards.
• High current handling capability of 2 A, suitable for power line filtering applications requiring significant current flow.

Applications

• Power supply input/output filtering in portable electronic devices
• Noise suppression on data lines in mobile communication equipment
• EMI/RFI filtering in automotive electronics systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and date code upon ordering, as manufacturing processes may evolve. Confirm that the 30 mΩ DC resistance specification aligns with your circuit's power loss requirements. Ensure PCB layout accommodates the three-terminal structure to maintain the intended low-inductance performance characteristics during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high capacitance density is required in a minimal footprint alongside effective high-frequency noise attenuation. The X5R dielectric provides stable capacitance over the specified temperature range. Consider the 4 VDC rating carefully to ensure adequate margin against peak voltage transients in the target application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KGN series of feedthrough capacitors from KYOCERA AVX. These components are engineered specifically for applications demanding superior electromagnetic interference suppression compared to standard two-terminal MLCCs. The series leverages internal electrode structures to minimize parasitic inductance, making them distinct from general-purpose ceramic capacitors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the three-terminal feedthrough topology and 0402 dimensions. Verify equivalent capacitance, voltage rating, and current handling capabilities. Standard two-terminal capacitors cannot replicate the low-inductance performance of this feedthrough design without significant layout modifications.
