KEMET Adds Flexible Termination to Product Portfolio
KEMET Corporation (Greenville, SC, USA) has announced the expansion of its surface mount X7R Multi-layer ceramic capacitor portfolio with the introduction of the flexible termination FT-CAP.The FT-CAP's unique end termination technology adds pliability, shifting any flex stress into the termination area and away from the ceramic body and the component's active layers. This reduces the risk of capacitor failure due to an electrical short and is ideal for customers who seek an increased measure of protection from board flex. The FT-CAP offers up to 5mm of flex-bend capability, giving customers a flex mitigation option for higher capacitance part types and complementing KEMET's current Open Mode and Floating Electrode technologies.
"Our introduction of the Flex Term product illustrates KEMET's desire to develop leading-edge product solutions and technologies," said Aziz Tajuddin, Vice President of Ceramic Technology. "KEMET is striving to become 'The Capacitance Company,' and these world-class offerings represent a significant step toward reaching that goal."
Current case size offerings range from EIA 0603 up to 1210, with expansion to larger case sizes in the near future. These devices have an operating temperature range between –55°C and +125°C, with zero bias capacitance shift limited to ±15% over that range. All parts are environmentally friendly in compliance with RoHS legislation and are being offered with 100% pure matte tin-plated terminations, which allow for excellent solderability.
