Hiteca™ Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC)

Knowles Syfer's Hiteca range of MLCCs deliver low losses while offering high, stable capacitance up to maximum voltage and temperature. These capacitors help protect power electronics used in high-temperature environments such as electric vehicles or industrial applications without adding weight or increasing the product’s overall footprint.

Through Knowles Syfer's unique, patented dielectric system, Hiteca MLCCs can achieve a capacitance aging rate of 0% per decade and a typical capacitance reduction of <45% at full rated voltage. This makes them the perfect choice for applications such as DC bus smoothing, while their non-piezo construction makes them ideal for snubber capacitors. And with lower self-heating properties and low loss operation, they can also handle higher ripple currents than conventional ceramic capacitors. Hiteca MLCCs can help ensure the performance and reliability of power electronics in a wider range of operating conditions.
