Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
High Voltage with Flexible Termination System (HV FT-CAP)
X7R Dielectric, 500 – 3,000 VDC (Commercial 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.
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.
In addition to Commercial Grade, Automotive Grade devices are
available which 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 automotive(hybrid), telecommunications, medical,
military, aerospace, semiconductors and test/diagnostic
equipment.
