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 (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.
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 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.
