High-Voltage Flexible Termination Capacitors
Kemet Electronics has introduced high-voltage capacitors for applications including power supplies, industrial equipment, DC/DC converters and more into its Flexible Termination product line.
High-Voltage Flexible Termination Capacitors (HV FT-Cap) in X7R dielectric reduce ceramic chip failures in high-voltage applications.
Flexible Termination technology was developed to address flex cracks, the primary failure mode of surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs).
The technology directs circuit board stress away from the ceramic body and into the termination area, therefore reducing the risk of mechanical damage to the component that can result in low insulation resistance or short-circuit failures.
The HV FT-Cap is designed for a number of applications, including power supplies, DC/DC converters, LCD fluorescent backlight ballasts, HID lighting, telecommunications equipment, industrial equipment and control, computer LAN/WAN interfaces, digital modems and hybrid automotive motor control circuits.
Kemet said that any safety-critical application or circuit containing a connector close to a capacitor can benefit from its Flexible Termination technology.
The system utilises 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.
