Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
High Voltage with Flexible Termination System (HV FT-CAP)
X7R Dielectric, 500 – 3,000 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s High Voltage with Flexible Termination (HV FT-CAP)
surface mount MLCCs in X7R dielectric address the primary
failure mode of MLCCs– flex cracks, which are typically the
result of excessive tensile and shear stresses produced
during board flexure and thermal cycling. Featuring several
of the highest CV (capacitance/voltage) values available in
the industry, these devices utilize a pliable and conductive
silver epoxy between the base metal and nickel barrier layers
of the termination system. The addition of this epoxy layer
inhibits the transfer of board stress to the rigid ceramic body,
therefore mitigating flex cracks which can result in low IR or
short circuit failures. Although flexible termination technology
does not eliminate the potential for mechanical damage that
may propagate during extreme environmental and handling
conditions, it does provide superior flex performance over
standard termination systems.
automotive(hybrid), telecommunications, medical, military,
aerospace, semiconductors and test/diagnostic equipment.
Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric and designed to
accommodate all capacitance requirements, these flex-robust
devices are RoHS Compliant, offer up to 5 mm of flex-bend
capability and exhibits a predictable change in capacitance with
respect to time and voltage. Capacitance change with reference to
ambient temperature is limited to ±15% from -55°C to +125°C.
Automotive Grade is available for applications requiring proven,
reliable performance in harsh environments. Whether under-hood
or in-cabin, these capacitors are designed for mission and safety
critical automotive circuits. Stricter testing protocol and inspection
criteria have been established for automotive grade products
in recognition of potentially harsh environmental conditions.
KEMET automotive grade series capacitors meet the demanding
Automotive Electronics Council's AEC–Q200 qualification
requirements.
The HV FT-CAP offers low leakage current, exhibits low ESR
at high frequencies and finds conventional use as snubbers
or filters in applications such as switching power supplies
and lighting ballasts. Their exceptional performance at high
frequencies has made them a preferred choice of design
engineers worldwide. In addition to their use in power supplies,
these capacitors are widely used in industries related to
