FF-CAP / X7R Dielectric MLCCs

KEMET's Floating Electrode with Flexible Termination capacitor (FF-CAP) combines Floating Electrode and Flexible Termination technologies, both of which address the primary failure mode of MLCCs - flex cracks that occur due to excessive shear stresses produced during board flexure or thermal cycling. The Floating Electrode with Flexible Termination (FF-CAP) capacitors from KEMET features a floating electrode component that utilizes a cascading internal electrode design configured to form multiple capacitors in series within a single monolithic structure. This unique structure results in enhanced voltage and ESD performance over standard capacitor designs while allowing for a fail-open condition if mechanically damaged (cracked).
