Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Flexible Termination System (FT-CAP), U2J Dielectric,
10 – 50 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) Multilayer Ceramic
Capacitor in U2J 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. KEMET automotive
grade series capacitors meet the demanding Automotive
Electronics Council's AEC-Q200 qualification requirements.
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 provide a complete portfolio of flex mitigation
solutions.
Combined with the stability of U2J 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 capacitance change limited to –750
±20 ppm/°C from –55°C to +125°C. These devices are lead-
free, RoHS and REACH compliant without exception and are
capable of withstanding multiple passes through a lead-free
solder reflow profile.

Default packaging is “Bulk Bag”. An ordering code C-Spec is not required for “Bulk Bag” packaging.
The terms “Marked” and “Unmarked” pertain to laser marking option of capacitors. All packaging options labeled as “Unmarked” will contain
capacitors that have not been laser marked. The option to laser mark is not available on these devices. For more information see “Capacitor Marking”.

The 2 mm pitch option allows for double the packaging quantity of capacitors on a given reel size. This option is limited to EIA 0603 (1608 metric) case
size devices. For more information regarding 2 mm pitch option see “Tape & Reel Packaging Information”.

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’s 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 record 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

Parameters/Characteristics
To
obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1 MHz ±100 kHz and 1.0 Vrms ±0.2 V if capacitance ≤ 1,000 pF
1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 Vrms ±0.2 V if capacitance > 1,000 pF
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."
