The Y series surface mount MLCC with an X7R dielectric is a floating electrode with flexible termination capacitor (FF-CAP). It combines two existing KEMET technologies - floating electrode and flexible termination. The floating electrode component 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). The flexible termination component utilizes 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.
