Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Floating Electrode Design (FE-CAP), X7R Dielectric,
6.3 – 250 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Floating Electrode (FE-CAP) multilayer ceramic
capacitor in X7R dielectric utilizes a cascading internal electrode
design configured to form multiple capacitors in series within a
single monolithic structure. This unique configuration results in
enhanced voltage and ESD performance over standard capacitor
designs while allowing for a fail-open condition if mechanically
damaged (cracked). If damaged, the device may experience
a drop in capacitance but a short is unlikely. The FE-CAP is
designed to reduce the likelihood of a low IR or short circuit
condition and the chance for a catastrophic and potentially costly
failure event.
Driven by the demand for a more robust and reliable component,
the FE-CAP was designed for critical applications where
higher operating temperatures and mechanical stress are a
concern. These capacitors are manufactured in state of the
art ISO/TS 16949:2009 certified facilities and are widely used in
power supplies (input and output filters) and general electronic
applications.
Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric, the FE-CAP
complements KEMET’s “Open Mode” devices by providing a
fail-safe design optimized for low to mid range capacitance
values. These devices exhibit a predictable change in capacitance
with respect to time and voltage and boast a minimal change in
capacitance with reference to ambient temperature. Capacitance
change 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.

Parameters/Characteristics
Regarding aging rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 1,000 hours.
To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤ 10 µF
120 Hz ±10 Hz and 0.5 ±0.1 Vrms if capacitance > 10 µF
Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known as
Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."
