Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Flexible Termination System (FT-CAP), U2J Dielectric,
10 – 50 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) Multilayer Ceramic
Capacitor in U2J 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
Floating Electrode (FE-CAP), Floating Electrode with Flexible
Termination (FF-CAP), and KEMET Power Solutions (KPS)
product lines provide a complete portfolio of flex mitigation
solutions.
Combined with the stability of U2J dielectric and designed
to accommodate all capacitance requirements, these flex-
robust devices are RoHS compliant, offer up to 5 mm of
was developed in order to address the primary failure mode flex-bend capability and capacitance change limited to –750
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. KEMET automotive
grade series capacitors meet the demanding Automotive
Electronics Council's AEC-Q200 qualification requirements.
±20 ppm/°C from –55°C to +125°C. These devices are lead-
free, RoHS and REACH compliant without exception and are
capable of withstanding multiple passes through a lead-free
solder reflow profile.
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. FT-CAP complements KEMET’s Open Mode,
