Detailed Specifications For Series KRE
• Miniature
• 5mm Nominal Height
• Solvent Proof
• +105°C Maximum Temperature

The KRE series capacitors are designed for use in ultra miniature applications, as the nominal height is 5mm. Some of the applications in which these capacitors could be used are the following: camera, car audio, mini-audio sets and other industrial and commercial units where a very low profile product is required.

The KRE series capacitors were developed to withstand HCFC cleaning agents for two minutes by ultrasonic, vapor or immersion. This solvent proof design allows all circuit board components to be cleaned together, at the same time, without resorting to more expensive epoxy end-sealed capacitors. Refer to the Mini-Glossary for recommended cleaning conditions.
