Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
High Voltage with Flexible Termination System (HV FT-CAP)
X7R Dielectric, 500 – 3,000 VDC (Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Automotive Grade High Voltage Surface Mount
MLCCs with Flexible Termination (HV FT-CAP) 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.
Whether under-hood or in-cabin, these capacitors are designed
to provide relaible performance in mission and safety
critical automotive circuits. Stricter testing protocol and
inspection criteria have been established for automotive grade
products in recognition of potentially harsh environmental
conditions. KEMET automotive grade series capacitors meet
the demanding Automotive Electronics Council's AEC-Q200
qualification requirements.

Automotive C-Spec Information
KEMET automotive grade products meet or exceed the requirements outlined by the Automotive Electronics Council.
Details regarding test methods and conditions are referenced in document AEC–Q200, Stress Test Qualification for Passive
Components. These products are supported by a Product Change Notification (PCN) and Production Part Approval Process
warrant (PPAP).
Automotive products offered through our distribution channel have been assigned an inclusive ordering code C-Spec, “AUTO.”
This C-Spec was developed in order to better serve small and medium-sized companies that prefer an automotive grade
component without the requirement to submit a customer Source Controlled Drawing (SCD) or specification for review by a
KEMET engineering specialist. This C-Spec is therefore not intended for use by KEMET’s OEM automotive customers and are
not granted the same “privileges” as other automotive C-Specs. Customer PCN approval and PPAP request levels are limited
(see details below.)
Product Change Notification (PCN)
The KEMET Product Change Notification system is used to communicate primarily the following types of changes:
• Product/process changes that affect product form, fit, function, and/or reliability
• Changes in manufacturing site
• Product obsolescence

Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
The purpose of the Production Part Approval Process is:
• To ensure that supplier can meet the manufacturability and quality requirements for the purchased parts.
• To provide the evidence that all customer engineering design records and specification requirements are properly
understood and fulfilled by the manufacturing organization.
• To demonstrate that the established manufacturing process has the potential to produce the part.

Regarding Aging Rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 1,000 hours.
DWV is the voltage a capacitor can withstand (survive) for a short period of time. It exceeds the nominal and continuous working voltage of the
capacitor.

Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1kHz ±50Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 V
rms
if capacitance ≤10 µF
120Hz ±10Hz and 0.5 ±0.1 V
rms
if capacitance >10 µF
4
To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.
Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 & Agilent E4980 have a feature known as
Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."
