KEMET ceramic chips are available marked or unmarked (preferred) in several packaging styles. These ordering details are included as suffixes to the KEMET 14 digit part number, and will be used during the order entry process by KEMET sales personnel and distributors. (Notice that ordering a KEMET part number without a suffix will result in shipment of unmarked chips loose packed in a bag - so be sure to use a suffix if other packaging is needed.)
To speed up the ordering process, we use "shortcut" suffixes for the most common ordering modes. The most popular shortcut ordering suffix is "TU", which indicates unmarked chips, in labelled 7" tape & reel packaging. Alternatively, ordering suffix "TM" indicates marked chips, in labelled 7" reels. However, remember that marked chips are less likely to be in stock, and will have a cost premium associated with marking. Details on marking appear in our catalog, available on the website. Note that all 0402 chips and all Y5V chips are not available marked.
