Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Flexible Termination System (FT-CAP), C0G Dielectric,
10 – 200 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) Multilayer Ceramic
Capacitor in C0G dielectric incorporates a unique, flexible
termination system that is integrated with KEMET’s standard
termination materials. A conductive silver epoxy is utilized
between the base metal and nickel barrier layers of KEMET’s
standard termination system in order to establish pliability
while maintaining terminal strength, solderability and electrical
performance. This technology was developed in order to
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. Flexible
environmental and handling conditions, it does provide superior
flex performance over standard termination systems. FT-CAP
complements KEMET’s Open Mode, Floating Electrode (FE-
CAP), Floating Electrode with Flexible Termination (FF-CAP),
and KEMET Power Solutions (KPS) product lines by providing a
complete portfolio of flex mitigation solutions.
Combined with the stability of C0G 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 exhibit no change in capacitance with respect to
termination technology inhibits the transfer of board stress to the time and voltage. Capacitance change with reference to ambient
rigid ceramic body, therefore mitigating flex cracks which can
result in low IR or short circuit failures.
temperature is limited to ±30 ppm/ºC from -55°C to +125°C.
In addition to Commercial Grade, Automotive Grade devices
are available which meet the demanding Automotive Electronics
Council's AEC–Q200 qualification requirements.
Although this technology does not eliminate the potential
for mechanical damage that may propagate during extreme
