One world. One KEMET

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.

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.

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.
