KEMET VW80808 capacitors

The KEMET VW80808 Automotive Grade Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) multilayer ceramic capacitors in X7R dielectric are suited for a variety of applications requiring proven, reliable performance in harsh-environment conditions. Whether automotive under hood or in-cabin, these devices emphasize the vital and robust nature of capacitors required for mission and safety of critical automotive subsystems and are compliant with AEC-Q200 and VW80808 specifications.

These devices use flexible termination technology that inhibits the transfer of board stress to the rigid ceramic body, therefore mitigating flex cracks, which can result in low IR or short circuit failures. Although this technology does not eliminate the potential for mechanical damage that may propagate during extreme environmental and handling conditions, it does provide superior flex performance over standard termination systems. Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric and designed to accommodate all capacitance requirements, these flex-robust devices are RoHS-compliant, offer up to 5mm of flex-bend capability and exhibit a predictable change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage.
