Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Floating Electrode Design with Flexible Termination
System (FF-CAP), X7R Dielectric, 6.3 – 250 VDC
(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
tensile and shear stresses produced during board flexure
and 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.
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.
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

KEMET assigned C-Specs require the submittal of a customer SCD or customer specification for review. For additional information contact KEMET.
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.
2
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.
3
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1kHz ± 50Hz and 1.0 ± 0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤10µF
120Hz ± 10Hz and 0.5 ± 0.1 Vrms if capacitance >10µF
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".
