FE-CAP Now Part of KEMET's Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor Flex-Robust Portfolio
New Capacitors Boost SMD Line
GREENVILLE, S.C., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KEMET Corporation (NYSE:KEM) continues to offer customers more choices and superior performance for their capacitor needs with the launch of its FE-CAP line.
u
The FE-CAP utilizes a floating internal electrode design, wherein the electrodes are configured to form multiple capacitors in series within a single package. This not only yields improved voltage and ESD performance over standard designs, but also mitigates the risk of low-IR or short-circuit failures that can occur due to board flex.
"Innovation, quality, and improved overall performance are what cstomers have come to expect from KEMET," says Corey Antoniades, Associate Product Manager, Ceramic Business Unit. "The FE-CAP offering now gives customers more choices when it comes to flex-robust designs and solutions."
The FE-CAP is being offered in case sizes ranging from EIA 0402 to EIA 1812 with rated voltages ranging from 6.3VDC to 250VDC. Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric, the FE-CAP offers customers a flex-robust solution at low- to mid-range capacitance values and an operating temperature range of -55 degrees C to +125 degrees C with zero bias capacitance shift limited to +/-15% over that range. Capacitance tolerances offered include J(+/-5%), K(+/-10%) and M(+/-20%).
All FE-CAP products meet the requirements of the Automotive Electronics Council's AEC-Q200-Rev C and come with 100% pure matte, tin-plated terminations for superior solderability.
FE-CAPs will range in cost from $.04 to $.60.
KEMET Corporation provides industry-leading, high-performance capacitance solutions, including the world's most complete line of surface-mount capacitor technologies across tantalum, ceramic and solid aluminum dielectrics-along with the world's best quality, delivery and service. KEMET's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol KEM. KEMET is an ISO 9001:2000 and ISO/TS 16949:2002 registered company.
