Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
High Voltage with Flexible Termination System (HV FT-CAP)
X7R Dielectric, 500VDC-3000VDC (Commercial Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s High Voltage with Flexible Termination (HV FT-CAP)
surface mount MLCCs in X7R dielectric combine high voltage and
flexible termination technologies. Featuring a 125°C maximum
operating temperature and considered “temperature stable,”
these devices 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. Utilizing a
conductive silver epoxy between the base metal and nickel
barrier layers of KEMET’s standard termination system, flexible
termination technology directs board flex stress away from the
ceramic body and into the termination area, 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 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 5mm of flex-bend
capability and exhibit 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.

Ordering Information
Applications
Typical applications include switch mode power supplies (input
filters, resonators, tank circuits, snubber circuits, output filters),
high voltage coupling and DC blocking, lighting ballasts, voltage
multiplier circuits, DC/DC converters and coupling capacitors in
Ćuk converters. Markets include power supply, LCD fluorescent
backlight ballasts, HID lighting, telecom equipment, industrial and
medical equipment/control, LAN/WAN interface, analog and digital
modems, and automotive. X7R dielectrics are not designed for AC
line filtering or pulse applications.
