Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Flexible Termination System (FT-CAP), X7R Dielectric,
6.3 – 100 VDC, VW 80808 Specification
Overview
Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric, these flex-robust
KEMET’s Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) multilayer ceramic
capacitor in X7R 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
termination technology 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.
devices are RoHS Compliant, offer a 5 mm minimum of flex-bend
and exhibit 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.
In addition of these devices meeting the Automotive Electronics
Council's AEC–Q200 qualification requirements, the VW80808
(VW/AUDI) Specification approval is also part of this robust
product offering
Although this 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.
