Yageo KEMET HRA series capacitors

Yageo KEMET’s High Reliability Alternative (HRA) series is designed, tested, and screened to meet the demands of higher reliability applications that require capacitance values not available in traditional MIL-SPEC products. By utilizing Yageo KEMET’s patented Base Metal Electrode (BME) technology, the X-Level HRA series provides up to five times the capacitance values as compared to what’s available in MIL-PRF-32535 allowing for reduced board space and continuing the trend for miniaturization. These MLCCs are built using more robust designs as compared to automotive and COTS grade along with voltage conditioning and lot-release testing.

In addition to standard termination options, HRA is also available with flexible termination. Yageo KEMET's flexible termination utilizes a pliable and conductive silver epoxy between the base metal and nickel barrier layers of the termination system. The addition of this epoxy layer inhibits the transfer of board stress to the rigid ceramic body, therefore mitigating flex cracks, which can result in a low IR or short circuit failures.
