Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Flexible Termination System (FT-CAP), C0G Dielectric,
10 – 250 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) Multilayer Ceramic
Capacitor in C0G 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
was developed in order to 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. 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.
Combined with the stability of C0G 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 exhibit no change in capacitance with respect
to time and voltage. Capacitance change with reference to
ambient temperature is limited to ±30 ppm/ºC 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.
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,
Floating Electrode (FE-CAP), Floating Electrode with
Flexible Termination (FF-CAP), and KEMET Power Solutions
(KPS) product lines by providing a complete portfolio of
flex mitigation solutions.
