Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
High Voltage with Flexible Termination System (HV FT-CAP),
C0G Dielectric, 500 – 3,000 VDC (Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Automotive Grade High Voltage with Flexible Termination switching power supplies and lighting ballasts. Their exceptional
(HV FT-CAP) surface mount MLCCs in C0G 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
performance at high frequencies has made high voltage MLCC’s the
preferred dielectric choice of design engineers worldwide. In addition
to their use in power supplies, these capacitors are widely used in
industries related to automotive (hybrid), telecommunications, medical,
military, aerospace, semiconductors and test/diagnostic equipment.
Whether under-hood or in-cabin, these capacitors are designed to
provide reliable performance in mission and safety critical automotive
circuits. Stricter testing protocol and inspection criteria have been
established for automotive grade products in recognition of potentially
technology does not eliminate the potential for mechanical damage harsh environmental conditions. KEMET automotive grade series
that may propagate during extreme environmental and handling
conditions, it does provide superior flex performance over standard
termination systems.
capacitors meet the demanding Automotive Electronics Council’s
AEC-Q200 qualification requirements.
KEMET’s high voltage surface mount MLCCs in C0G dielectric
feature a 125°C maximum operating temperature and offers the most
stable voltage and temperature performance of all ceramic dielectric
materials. C0G (NP0) dielectric capacitors exhibit no change in
capacitance with respect to time and voltage and boasts a negligible
change in capacitance with reference to ambient temperature.
Capacitance change is limited to ±30ppm/ºC from −55°C to +125°C.
These devices exhibit low ESR at high frequencies and find
conventional use as snubbers or filters in applications such as
