KEMET C0G Flexible Termination Capacitors

KEMET C0G Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) Capacitors provide superior flex performance up to 5mm, a capacitance range from 1pF to 0.47µF, and a voltage range from 16V_DC to 250V_DC. These multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) utilize a unique, flexible termination system that is integrated with KEMET's standard termination materials. This flexible termination technology combats flex cracking, which is the primary failure mode of MLCCs. Flexible termination technology directs board flex stress away from the ceramic body and into the termination area, mitigating flex cracks that can lead to low IR and short circuit failures. These flex-robust devices are RoHS-compliant and exhibit no change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage.
