KEMET C0603X333K5RAC3316

KEMET’s X Series (FT-CAP) capacitor in X7R dielectric incorporates a unique, flexible termination system that is integrated with KEMET’s standard termination materials. A conductive silver epoxy is utilized 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. This technology was developed in order to address the primary failure mode of MLCCs– flex cracks, which are typically the result of excessive tensile and shear stresses produced during board flexure and thermal cycling. Flexible termination technology 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. Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric, these flex-robust devices are RoHS Compliant, offer a 5 mm minimum of flex-bend and exhibit a predictable change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage. Capacitance change with reference to ambient temperature is limited to ±15% from -55°C to +125°C. In addition of these devices meeting the Automotive Electronics Council's AEC–Q200 qualification requirements, the VW80808 (VW/AUDI) Specification approval is also part of this robust product offering.
