Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
High Voltage with Flexible Termination System (HV FT-CAP),
C0G Dielectric, 500VDC – 3000VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s High Voltage with Flexible Termination (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 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.
These devices exhibit low ESR at high frequencies and find
conventional use as snubbers or filters in applications such as
switching power supplies and lighting ballasts. Their exceptional
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.
Automotive Grade is available for applications requiring proven,
reliable performance in harsh environments. Whether under-
the-hood or in-cabin, these capacitors are designed for mission
and safety critical automotive circuits. Stricter testing protocol
and inspection criteria have been established for automotive
grade products in recognition of potentially harsh environmental
conditions. KEMET automotive grade series 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.
