Why GKT-EA / GKT-EB Are Ideal for High-Temperature Power Applications

30 Jun 2025

  Kingtronics International Company — Inspired by Innovation 

For engineers and buyers seeking robust and compact solutions for high-temperature environments, Kingtronics® GKT-EA and GKT-EB series SMD Multilayer Solid Capacitors offer a proven and reliable choice. Both series are rated for 105°C endurance with a lifetime of 2,000 hours, ensuring stable operation under sustained thermal stress.

Designed for Demanding Power Conditions

GKT-EA and GKT-EB are built to perform in power circuits where temperature, space, and reliability are critical factors. Both series are RoHS compliant and lead-free, making them suitable for global applications.

Key Specifications

  • Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to +105°C
  • Rated Voltage Range: 2 ~ 25V DC
  • Capacitance Range:
    • GKT-EA: 2.2µF ~ 470µF
    • GKT-EB: 6.8µF ~ 680µF
  • Endurance Test: 2,000 hours at 105°C
  • Low ESR: As low as 4.5mΩ (100kHz, 20°C)
  • Ripple Current: Up to 4,800mArms (GKT-EB)

Compact Case Sizes for Flexible Layouts

  • GKT-EA Dimensions: 7.3 × 4.3 × 1.9 mm
  • GKT-EB Dimensions: 7.3 × 4.3 × 2.8 mm

The shared footprint simplifies layout design, while different heights accommodate varying capacitance needs without compromising board space.

Stable Electrical Characteristics at High and Low Temperatures

Both series demonstrate outstanding temperature impedance stability:

  • Z(+105°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 1.25
  • Z(–55°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 1.25

This ensures minimal performance deviation across a wide thermal range — a key requirement for mission-critical systems.

Passed Environmental Tests

Each capacitor series complies with strict environmental reliability testing:

  • Humidity Resistance: 500 hrs at 60°C, 90–95% RH (no voltage)
  • Surge Test: 1,000 cycles with voltage surge through protective resistor
  • Post-test Stability:
    • Capacitance change ≤ ±20%
    • ESR and leakage current ≤ 150% of initial value

Applications (as specified in datasheet)

  • System Board
  • Display Card
  • Small Charger
  • Smart TV

These are ideal platforms where heat resistance, ESR control, and form factor matter.

About

Kingtronics International Company was established in 1995 located in Dongguan City of China to handle all sales & marketing for factories located in Chengdu, Sichuan and Zhaoqing, Guangdong, China. In 1990, we established the first factory to produce trimming potentiometer and in 1999 we built up new factory in Zhao Qing, Guangdong. Now with around 850 workers, Kingtronics produce trimming potentiometers, dipped tantalum capacitors, multilayer ceramic capacitors, and diode & bridge rectifier. We sell good quality under our brand Kingtronics, and Kt, King, Kingtronics are our three trademarks. All our products are RoHS compliant, and our bridge rectifier have UL approval. Please visit our Products page, you could please download all our PDF datasheet and find cross reference for our Trimming Potentiometer and capacitors.
