KEMET’s High Voltage X Series (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. 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 flexrobust 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.
