Conductive Metallization
The FT-CAP is a surface mount multi-layer ceramic capacitor that incorporates a unique and flexible termi-
nation system. Integrated with KEMET's standard termination materials, a conductive epoxy is utilized
between the conductive metallization and nickel barrier finish in order to establish pliability while maintain-
ing terminal strength, solderability and electrical performance. This technology directs board flex stress away
from the ceramic body and into the termination area. As a result, this termination system mitigates the risk
of low-IR or short-circuit failures associated with board flex. The FT-CAP complements our current "Open
Mode" and "Flexible Electrode (FE-CAP)" products by providing our customers with a complete portfolio of
flex solutions.
