Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Floating Electrode Design with Flexible Termination System
(FF-CAP), X7R Dielectric, 6.3VDC-250VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Floating Electrode with Flexible Termination capacitor
(FF-CAP) combines two existing KEMET technologies—
Floating Electrode and Flexible Termination. The floating
electrode component 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). The flexible termination component utilizes
a conductive silver epoxy 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. Both technologies address the
primary failure mode of MLCCs—flex cracks, which are typically
the result of excessive shear stresses produced during board
flexure or thermal cycling.
Although neither technology can eliminate the potential for
mechanical damage that may propagate during extreme
environmental and/or handling conditions, the combination of
these two technologies provide the ultimate level of protection
against a low IR or short circuit condition. Designed for safety
critical applications, the FF-CAP is Pb-Free and RoHS compliant
meets the requirements of the Automotive Electronics Council's
AEC-Q200 and is widely used in automotive circuits as well as
power supplies (input and output filters) and general electronic
applications.
Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric, the FF-CAP
complements KEMET’s Open Mode, Floating Electrode (FE-
CAP), Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) and KEMET Power
Solutions (KPS) product lines by providing an ultimate 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.
