Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Floating Electrode Design with Flexible Termination System
(FF-CAP), X7R Dielectric, 6.3 – 250 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Floating Electrode with Flexible Termination capacitor
(FF-CAP) combines two existing KEMET technologies–
Floating Electrode and Flexible Termination. The oating
electrode component utilizes a cascading internal electrode
design congured to form multiple capacitors in series within
a single monolithic structure. This unique conguration results
in enhanced voltage and ESD performance over standard
capacitor designs while allowing for a fail-open condition if
mechanically damaged (cracked). The exible termination
component utilizes a conductive silver epoxy between the base
metal and nickel barrier layers of KEMET’s standard termination
system in order to establish pliability while maintaining terminal
strength, solderability and electrical performance. Both
technologies address the primary failure mode of MLCCs– ex
cracks, which are typically the result of excessive tensile and
shear stresses produced during board exure and thermal
cycling.
Although neither technology can eliminate the potential for
mechanical damage that may propagate during extreme
environmental and/or handling conditions, the combination of
these two technologies provide the ultimate level of protection
against a low IR or short circuit condition. The FF-CAP
complements KEMET’s Open Mode, Floating Electrode (FE-CAP),
Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) and KEMET Power Solutions (KPS)
product lines by providing an ultimate fail-safe design optimized
for low to mid range capacitance values. These devices exhibit a
predictable change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage
and boast a minimal change in capacitance with reference to
ambient temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±15% from
-55°C to +125°C.
In addition to Commercial Grade, Automotive Grade devices
are available which meet the demanding Automotive Electronics
Council's AEC–Q200 qualication requirements.

See Insulation Resistance Limit Table
(Rated voltage applied for 120 ±5 seconds @ 25°C)
Regarding aging rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 1,000 hours.
To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤ 10 µF
120 Hz ±10 Hz and 0.5 ±0.1 Vrms if capacitance > 10 µF
Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known as
Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."

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).
Soldering Process
Recommended Soldering Technique:
• Solder wave or solder reow for EIA case sizes 0603, 0805 and 1206
• All other EIA case sizes are limited to solder reow only
Recommended Soldering Prole:
• KEMET recommends following the guidelines outlined in IPC/JEDEC J–STD–020

Storage and 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 and tape peel force may
increase. KEMET recommends that maximum storage temperature not exceed 40ºC and maximum storage humidity not exceed 70%
relative humidity. Temperature uctuations should be minimized to avoid condensation on the parts and atmospheres should be free of
chlorine and sulfur bearing compounds. For optimized solderability chip stock should be used promptly, preferably within 1.5 years of
receipt.

Floating Electrode Design with Flexible Termination System (FF-CAP), X7R Dielectric, (Commercial & Automotive Grade)
Capacitor Marking (Optional):
These surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors are
normally supplied unmarked. If required, they can be marked
as an extra cost option. Marking is available on most KEMET
devices but must be requested using the correct ordering
code identi er(s). If this option is requested, two sides of the
ceramic body will be laser marked with a “K” to identify KEMET,
followed by two characters (per EIA–198 - see table below) to
identify the capacitance value. EIA 0603 case size devices are
limited to the “K” character only.
Laser marking option is not available on:
• C0G, Ultra Stable X8R and Y5V dielectric devices
• EIA 0402 case size devices
• EIA 0603 case size devices with Flexible Termination option.
• KPS Commercial and Automotive Grade stacked devices.
Marking appears in legible contrast. Illustrated below is an
example of an MLCC with laser marking of “KA8”, which
designates a KEMET device with rated capacitance of 100 µF.
Orientation of marking is vendor optional.

verifying the extent to which the Information contained in this publication is applicable to an order at the time the order is placed.
All Information given herein is believed to be accurate and reliable, but it is presented without guarantee, warranty, or responsibility of any kind, expressed or implied.
Statements of suitability for certain applications are based on KEMET Electronics Corporation’s (“KEMET”) knowledge of typical operating conditions for such applications, but are
not intended to constitute – and KEMET speci cally disclaims – any warranty concerning suitability for a speci c customer application or use. The Information is intended for use only

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.
