Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Flexible Termination System (FT-CAP), Ultra-Stable X8R
Dielectric, 10 – 100 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) Multilayer Ceramic
Capacitor in Ultra-Stable X8R dielectric incorporates a
unique, flexible 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 KEMET’s 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– flex cracks, which are
typically the result of excessive tensile and shear stresses
produced during board flexure and thermal cycling. Flexible
termination technology 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 this 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. 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 by providing a complete portfolio of flex
mitigation solutions.
Combined with the stability of KEMET’s Ultra-Stable high
temperature dielectric technology, these flex-robust devices
are RoHS Compliant, offer up to 5 mm of flex-bend capability
and feature a 150°C maximum operating temperature.
Ultra-Stable X8R dielectric offers the same temperature
capability as conventional X8R, but without the capacitance
loss due to applied DC voltage. These devices exhibit no
change in capacitance with respect to voltage and boast a
minimal change in capacitance with reference to ambient
temperature. They are also suitable replacements for higher
capacitance and larger footprint devices that fail to offer
capacitance stability. Capacitance change with respect to
temperature is limited to ±15% from −55°C to +150°C.
In addition to Commercial Grade, Automotive Grade devices
are available which 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 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.

Insulation Resistance (IR) Minimum Limit at 25°C
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:
1 MHz ±100 kHz and 1.0 ±0.2 V
rms
if capacitance ≤ 1,000 pF.
1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 V
rms
if capacitance > 1,000 pF.
3
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".
