High-Voltage Floating Electrode MLCC Capacitors

KEMET's capacitors are designed to provide reliable performance in mission- and safety-critical automotive circuits

Image of KEMET's High-Voltage Floating Electrode MLCC Capacitors KEMET’s floating electrode high-voltage with standard (FE-CAP) or flexible termination (FF-CAP) capacitor combines two existing KEMET technologies: floating electrode and flexible termination. The floating electrode component utilizes a cascading/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 in ambient temperature is limited to ±15% (X7R) and ±30 ppm/°C (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 protocols and inspection criteria have been established for automotive-grade products in recognition of potentially harsh environmental conditions. KEMET's automotive-grade series capacitors meet the demanding automotive electronics council's AEC-Q200 qualification requirements.
