Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (SMD MLCCs) ArcShield Technology, High Voltage, X7R Dielectric, 500 1,000 VDC (Commercial & Automotive Grade) Overview The KEMET ArcShield high voltage surface mount capacitors in developed to address flex cracks, which are the primary failure X7R dielectric are designed for use in high voltage applications mode of MLCCs and typically the result of excessive tensile and susceptible to surface arcing (arc-over discharge). shear stresses produced during board flexure and thermal cycling. Flexible termination technology inhibits the transfer of board The phenomenon of surface arcing is caused by a high voltage stress to the rigid body of the MLCC, therefore mitigating flex gradient between the two termination surfaces or between one cracks which can result in low IR or short circuit failures. of the termination surfaces and the counter internal electrode structure within the ceramic body. It occurs most frequently at The KEMET ArcShield high voltage surface mount MLCCs are application voltages that meet or exceed 300 V, in high humidity available in automotive grade, which undergo stricter testing environments, and in chip sizes with minimal bandwidth protocol and inspection criteria. Whether underhood or in-cabin, separation (creepage distance). This phenomenon can either these devices are designed for mission and safety-critical damage surrounding components or lead to a breakdown of automotive circuits or applications requiring proven, reliable the dielectric material, ultimately resulting in a short circuit performance in harsh environments. Automotive grade devices condition (catastrophic failure mode). meet the demanding Automotive Electronics Council s AEC-Q200 qualification requirements. Patented ArcShield technology features KEMET s highly reliable base metal dielectric system, combined with a unique internal shield electrode structure that is designed to suppress an arc- over event while increasing available capacitance. Developed on the principle of a partial Faraday cage, this internal system offers unrivaled performance and reliability when compared to external surface coating technologies. For added reliability, KEMET s flexible termination technology is an available option that provides superior flex performance over standard termination systems.
