Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs)
Floating Electrode Design (FE-CAP) X7R Dielectric
6.3VDC-250VDC (Commercial Grade)
Overview
KEMET’s Floating Electrode (FE-CAP) multilayer ceramic
capacitor in X7R dielectric utilizes a cascading internal electrode
design configured to form multiple capacitors in series within a
single monolithic structure. This unique configuration results in
enhanced voltage and ESD performance over standard capacitor
designs while allowing for a fail-open condition if mechanically
damaged (cracked). If damaged, the device may experience
a drop in capacitance but a short is unlikely. The FE-CAP is
designed to reduce the likelihood of a low IR or short circuit
condition and the chance for a catastrophic and potentially costly
failure event.
Driven by the demand for a more robust and reliable component,
the FE-CAP was designed for critical applications where
higher operating temperatures and mechanical stress are a
concern. These capacitors are manufactured in state of the art
ISO/TS 16949:2002 certified facilities and are widely used in
power supplies (input and output filters) and general electronic
applications.
Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric, the FE-CAP
complements KEMET’s “Open Mode” devices by providing a 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.

Applications
Typical applications include circuits with a direct battery or power source connection, critical and safety relevant circuits without
(integrated) current limitation and any application that is subject to high levels of board flexure or temperature cycling. Examples
include raw power input side filtering (power plane/bus), high current applications (automobile battery line) and circuits that cannot be
fused to open. Markets include consumer, medical, industrial (power supply), automotive, aerospace and telecom.
Qualification/Certification
Commercial grade products are subject to internal qualification. Details regarding test methods and conditions are referenced in Table
4, Performance and Reliability.
Automotive grade products meet or exceed the requirements outlined by the Automotive Electronics Council. Details regarding test
methods and conditions are referenced in document AEC-Q200, Stress Test Qualification for Passive Components. For additional
information regarding the Automotive Electronics Council and AEC-Q200, please visit their website @www.aecouncil.com.

See Insulation Resistance Limit Table
(Rated voltage applied for 120 ± 5 secs @ 25°C)
Parameters/Characteristics
Regarding Aging Rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 1000 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:
1kHz ± 50Hz and 1.0 ± 0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤10µF
120Hz ± 10Hz and 0.5 ± 0.1 Vrms if capacitance >10µF
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".
