One world. One KEMET
Overview
The KEMET ArcShield high voltage surface mount capacitors in
X7R dielectric are designed for use in high voltage applications
susceptible to surface arcing (arc-over discharge).
The phenomenon of surface arcing is caused by a high voltage
gradient between the two termination surfaces or between one
of the termination surfaces and the counter internal electrode
structure within the ceramic body. It occurs most frequently at
application voltages that meet or exceed 300 V, in high humidity
environments, and in chip sizes with minimal bandwidth
separation (creepage distance). This phenomenon can either
damage surrounding components or lead to a breakdown of
the dielectric material, ultimately resulting in a short circuit
condition (catastrophic failure mode).
Patented ArcShield technology features KEMET's highly reliable
base metal dielectric system, combined with a unique internal
shield electrode structure that is designed to suppress an arc-
over event while increasing available capacitance. Developed
on the principle of a partial Faraday cage, this internal system
offers unrivaled performance and reliability when compared to
external surface coating technologies.

The KEMET ArcShield high voltage surface mount MLCCs are
available in automotive grade, which undergo stricter testing
protocol and inspection criteria. Whether underhood or in-cabin,
these devices are designed for mission and safety-critical
automotive circuits or applications requiring proven, reliable
performance in harsh environments. Automotive grade devices
meet the demanding Automotive Electronics Council's AEC-Q200

1 Regarding Aging Rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 1,000 hours.
2 DWV is the voltage a capacitor can withstand (survive) for a short period of time. It exceeds the nominal and continuous working voltage of the
capacitor.
3 Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1kHz ± 50Hz and 1.0 ± 0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤10µF
120Hz ± 10Hz and 0.5 ± 0.1 Vrms if capacitance >10µF
4 To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.
Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 & Agilent E4980 have a feature known as
Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON".

1 The "Packaging C-Spec" is a 4 to 8 digit code which identies the packaging type and/or product grade. When ordering, the proper code must be included in
the 15th through 22nd character positions of the ordering code. See "Ordering Information" section of this document for further details. Commercial Grade
product ordered without a packaging C-Spec will default to our standard "Bulk Bag" packaging. Contact KEMET if you require a bulk bag packaging option for
Automotive Grade products.
2 A packaging C-Spec (see note 1 above) is not required for "Bulk Bag" packaging (excluding Anti-Static Bulk Bag and Automotive Grade products). The 15th
through 22nd character positions of the ordering code should be left blank. All product ordered without a packaging C-Spec will default to our standard "Bulk
Bag" packaging.

Density Level A: For low-density product applications. Recommended for wave solder applications and provides a wider process window for reow
solder processes. KEMET only recommends wave soldering of EIA 0603, 0805 and 1206 case sizes.
Density Level B: For products with a moderate level of component density. Provides a robust solder attachment condition for reow solder processes.
Density Level C: For high component density product applications. Before adapting the minimum land pattern variations the user should perform
qualication testing based on the conditions outlined in IPC Standard 7351 (IPC–7351).

Storage & Handling
Ceramic chip capacitors should be stored in normal working environments. While the chips themselves are quite robust in
other environments, solderability will be degraded by exposure to high temperatures, high humidity, corrosive atmospheres,
and long term storage. In addition, packaging materials will be degraded by high temperature – reels may soften or warp

1. The embossment hole location shall be measured from the sprocket hole controlling the location of the embossment. Dimensions of the embossment
location and the hole location shall be applied independently of each other.
2. The tape with or without components shall pass around R without damage (see Figure 6.)
3. If S1 < 1.0 mm, there may not be enough area for a cover tape to be properly applied (see EIA Standard 481, paragraph 4.3, section b.)
4. B1 dimension is a reference dimension for tape feeder clearance only.
5. The cavity de ned by A0, B0 and K0 shall surround the component with suffi cient clearance that:
(a) the component does not protrude above the top surface of the carrier tape.
(b) the component can be removed from the cavity in a vertical direction without mechanical restriction, after the top cover tape has been
removed.
(c) rotation of the component is limited to 20° maximum for 8 and 12 mm tapes and 10° maximum for 16 mm tapes (see Figure 3.)
(d) lateral movement of the component is restricted to 0.5 mm maximum for 8 and 12 mm wide tape and to 1.0 mm maximum for 16 mm tape
(see Figure 4.)
(e) for KPS product, A0 and B0 are measured on a plane 0.3 mm above the bottom of the pocket.
(f) see addendum in EIA Standard 481 for standards relating to more precise taping requirements.

Although KEMET designs and manufactures its products to the most stringent quality and safety standards, given the current state of the art, isolated component
failures may still occur. Accordingly, customer applications which require a high degree of reliability or safety should employ suitable designs or other safeguards
(such as installation of protective circuitry or redundancies) in order to ensure that the failure of an electrical component does not result in a risk of personal injury
or property damage.
Although all product–related warnings, cautions and notes must be observed, the customer should not assume that all safety measures are indicted or that other
measures may not be required.
