KEMET X7R and C0G series
KEMET announces X7R and C0G series
KEMET’s Floating Electrode High Voltage with Standard (FE-CAP) or Flexible Termination capacitor (FF-CAP) combines two existing KEMET technologies– Floating Electrode and Flexible Termination. The floating electrode component utilizes a cascading or serial 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). Capacitance change with reference to ambient temperature is limited to ±15% (X7R) and ±30 ppm/ºC (C0G) from -55°C to +125°C.
Whether under-hood or in-cabin, these capacitors are designed to provide reliable performance in mission and safety critical automotive circuits. Stricter testing protocol and inspection criteria have been established for automotive grade products in recognition of potentially harsh environmental conditions. KEMET automotive grade series capacitors meet the demanding Automotive Electronics Council's AEC-Q200 qualification requirements.
