Open Mode FO-CAP MLCCs

KEMET Open Mode Design (FO-CAP) MLCCs in X7R dielectric were designed to significantly minimize the potential of low IR or short circuit when the capacitor is forced to failure in a board stress flex situation. The Open Mode capacitor may experience capacitance loss with no chance of a short because a flex crack will not typically propagate across counter electrodes within the device's "active area." The lack of current leakage from the Open Mode flex crack eliminates localized heating, therefore, greatly reducing the risk of a catastrophic and costly failure event. Open Mode designed devices compliment KEMET Floating Electrode (FE-CAP) and Floating Electrode with Flexible Termination (FF-CAP) products by providing a fail-safe design optimized for mid to high-range capacitance values.

KEMET X8L Series High-Temperature Capacitors - EXPANSION

KEMET has expanded the X8L series 150ºC high-temperature capacitors to include the new flexible termination option on all EIA case sizes except 0402. Flexible Termination technology directs board flex stress away from the ceramic body and into the termination area, resulting in lower risk of flex cracks that can lead to low IR or short circuit failures.

The KEMET X8L and Ultra Stable X8R 150C Dielectrics are high temperature ceramic surface mount capacitors that are ideal in harsh environments such as Down Hole (oil exploration), automotive (under hood), and aerospace. The KEMET X8L 150°C Dielectric operates from -55°C to +150°C with capacitance shift limited to ±15% from -55°C to 125°C and +15, -40% from 125°C to 150°C. The KEMET X8L is available in case sizes EIA 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, and 1210. The KEMET Ultra Stable X8R 150°C Dielectric exhibits no capacitance loss when DC voltage is applied and is available in case sizes EIA 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210, and 1812.

X7R Auto & Commercial Open Mode Capacitors

KEMET X7R Auto and Commercial Open Mode Capacitors offer a 16V_DC to 200V_DC voltage range, 1000pF to 6.8µF capacitance, and ±5%, ±10%, or ±20% capacitance tolerance. These capacitors feature flexible termination technology that inhibits the transfer of board stress to the rigid ceramic body. This technology provides superior flex performance over standard termination systems, offering superior protection against a low IR or short-circuit condition. KEMET X7R Auto and Commercial Open Mode Capacitors operate in a -55°C to +125°C operating temperature range.

High CV Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs)

KEMET High CV Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) are a preferred capacitance solution, offering tremendous performance, reliability, and cost advantages for circuit designers. Ceramics are non-polar devices that offer unsurpassed volumetric efficiency, delivering high capacitance in small package sizes. Available in a wide range of sizes, KEMET High CV MLCCs offer very low equivalent series resistance (ESR), exhibit excellent high-frequency characteristics, and are very reliable. MLCCs are monolithic devices that consist of laminated layers of specially formulated ceramic dielectric materials interspersed with a metal electrode system. The layered formation is then fired at a high temperature to produce a sintered and volumetrically efficient capacitance device. A conductive termination barrier system is integrated into the exposed ends of the chip to complete the connection.
