High-Voltage Floating Electrode MLCC Capacitors | Datasheet Preview

The KEMET high-voltage floating electrode MLCC capacitors are designed to provide reliable performance in mission- and safety-critical automotive circuits. KEMET’s Floating Electrode with Flexible Termination capacitor combines two existing KEMET technologies: the Floating Electrode and Flexible Termination. The floating electrode component results in enhanced voltage and ESD performance over standard capacitor designs while allowing for a fail-open condition if damaged or cracked. The flexible 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. 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 plus, minus 20 percent from −55 to +125 degrees celsius.
