X7R MLCCs feature a 125°C maximum operating temperature. 300 Series Goldmax X7R MLCCs are fixed, ceramic dielectric capacitors suited for bypass and decoupling applications. The 300 series is also ideal for frequency discriminating circuits where Q and stability of capacitance characteristics are not critical. These devices meets the flame test requirements outlined in UL Standard 94V-0.

C0G MLCCs are conformally coated radial leaded ceramic capacitors in C0G dielectric that feature a 125°C maximum operating temperature. 300 Series Goldmax C0G MLCCs exhibit no change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage and boast a negligible change in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±30 ppm/ºC from -55°C to +125°C.

X8L MLCCs conformally coated radial through-hole ceramic capacitors offer a +150°C maximum operating temperature and are considered "general purpose high temperature" devices. These MLCCs are fixed, ceramic dielectric capacitors that are ideal for high temperature bypass and decoupling applications or frequency discriminating circuits, where Q and stability of capacitance characteristics are not critical. X8L exhibits a predictable change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage, and boasts a minimal change in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature up to +125°C. Beyond +125°C X8L displays a wider variation in capacitance. Capacitance change is limited to ±15% from −55°C to +125°C and +15, −40% from +125°C to +150°C.

X8R MLCCs conformally coated radial through-hole ceramic capacitors offer the same temperature capability as conventional X8R, but without the capacitance loss due to applied DC voltage. Ultra-stable X8R MLCCs show no change in capacitance with respect to voltage and boasts a minimal change in capacitance, with reference to ambient temperature. These X8R MLCCs are suitable replacements for higher capacitance and larger footprint devices that fail to offer capacitance stability. Capacitance change with respect to temperature is limited to ±15% from −55°C to +150°C. Ultra-stable X8R dielectric Goldmax though-hole capacitors are ideal for critical applications where reliability and capacitance stability at higher operating temperatures are a concern. These capacitors are widely used in automotive circuits, as well as general high temperature applications.
