Overview
The KEMET Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) Multilayer
Ceramic Capacitor in U2J dielectric incorporates a unique,
exible 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 the KEMET 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 — ex cracks, which are typically the result of
excessive tensile and shear stresses produced during
board exure and thermal cycling. Flexible termination
technology inhibits the transfer of board stress to the
rigid ceramic body, therefore mitigating ex cracks which
can result in low insulation resistance (IR) or short circuit
failures. KEMET automotive grade capacitors meet the
demanding Automotive Electronics Council's AEC-Q200
qualication 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 ex 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 provide a complete portfolio of ex mitigation
solutions.
Combined with the stability of U2J dielectric and designed
to accommodate all capacitance requirements, these ex-
robust devices are RoHS compliant, offer up to 5 mm of
ex-bend capability and capacitance change limited to –750
±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 reow prole.
