FE-CAP
/ X7R Dielectric
Product Description
The FE-CAP is a SMD MLCC utilizing a floating internal electrode design, wherein the electrodes are con-
figured to form multiple capacitors in series within a single MLCC 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. Combined with the stability of an X7R dielectric, the FE-CAP com-
plements KEMET's Open Mode Devices by providing a fail-safe design optimized for low to mid range
capacitance values.
