Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Flexible Termination System (FT-CAP) X7R Dielectric,
6.3 – 250 VDC (Automotive Grade)
Overview
The KEMET Automotive Grade Flexible Termination (FT-CAP)
multilayer ceramic capacitor in X7R 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 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 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.
Whether underhood or in-cabin, these capacitors are designed
to provide reliable performance in a mission and safety of
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 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.

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 kHz ± 50 Hz and 1.0 ± 0.2 V
rms
if capacitance ≤ 10 µF
120 Hz ± 10 Hz 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 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known
as Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."
