One world. One KEMET
Overview
KEMET’s Ceramic Open Mode capacitor in X7R dielectric is
designed to signicantly minimize the probability of a low IR or
short circuit condition when forced to failure in a board stress
ex situation, thus reducing the potential for catastrophic failure.
The Open Mode capacitor may experience a drop in capaci-
tance; however, a short is unlikely because a crack will not
typically propagate across counter electrodes within the device’s
“active area.” Since there will not be any current leakage associ-
ated with a typical Open Mode ex crack, there is no localized
heating and therefore little chance for a catastrophic and poten-
tially costly failure event.
Driven by the demand for a more robust and reliable com-
ponent, the Open Mode capacitor was designed for critical
applications where higher operating temperatures and mechani-
cal stress are a concern. These capacitors are widely used in
automotive circuits as well as power supplies (input and output
lters) and general electronic applications.
Concerned with ex cracks resulting from excessive tensile
and shear stresses produced during board exure and thermal
cycling? These devices are available with KEMET's Flexible
termination technology which inhibits the transfer of board
stress to the rigid ceramic body, therefore mitigating ex cracks
which can result in low IR or short circuit failures. Although ex-
ible termination technology does not eliminate the potential for
mechanical damage that may propagate during extreme envi-
ronmental and handling conditions, it does provide superior ex
performance over standard termination systems. When combined
with exible termination technology these devices offer the ultimate
level of protection against a low IR or short circuit condition. Open
Mode devices compliment KEMET's Floating Electrode (FE-
CAP) and Floating Electrode with Flexible Termination (FF-CAP)
product lines by providing a fail-safe design optimized for mid to
high range capacitance values. These devices exhibit a predict-
able change in capacitance with respect to time and voltage and
boast a minimal change in capacitance with reference to ambient
temperature. Capacitance change is limited to ±15% from -55°C
to +125°C.

Aging Rate (Maximum % Capacitance Loss/Decade Hour) 3.0%
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage (DWV)
(5 ±1 seconds and charge/discharge not exceeding 50 mA)
Dissipation Factor (DF) Maximum Limit @ 25ºC 5% (6.3 and 10 V), 3.5% (16 and 25 V) and 2.5% (50 to 250 V)
Insulation Resistance (IR) Limit @ 25°C
(Rated voltage applied for 120 ±5 seconds @ 25°C)
Regarding aging rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 1,000 hours.
To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.
Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:
1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤ 10 µF
120 Hz ±10Hz and 0.5 ±0.1 Vrms if capacitance > 10 µF
Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known as
Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."

Soldering Process
Recommended Soldering Technique:
• Solder wave or solder reow for EIA case sizes 0603, 0805 and 1206
• All other EIA case sizes are limited to solder reow only
Recommended Reow Soldering Prole:
KEMET’s families of surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors (SMD MLCCs) are compatible with wave (single or dual), convection,
IR or vapor phase reow techniques. Preheating of these components is recommended to avoid extreme thermal stress. KEMET’s
recommended prole conditions for convection and IR reow reect the prole conditions of the IPC/J-STD-020 standard for moisture
sensitivity testing. These devices can safely withstand a maximum of three reow passes at these conditions.

Storage and Handling
Ceramic chip capacitors should be stored in normal working environments. While the chips themselves are quite robust in other
environments, solderability will be degraded by exposure to high temperatures, high humidity, corrosive atmospheres, and long term
storage. In addition, packaging materials will be degraded by high temperature– reels may soften or warp and tape peel force may
increase. KEMET recommends that maximum storage temperature not exceed 40ºC and maximum storage humidity not exceed 70%
relative humidity. Temperature uctuations should be minimized to avoid condensation on the parts and atmospheres should be free of
chlorine and sulfur bearing compounds. For optimized solderability chip stock should be used promptly, preferably within 1.5 years of
receipt.

Capacitor Marking (Optional):
These surface mount multilayer ceramic capacitors are
normally supplied unmarked. If required, they can be marked
as an extra cost option. Marking is available on most KEMET
devices but must be requested using the correct ordering
code identi er(s). If this option is requested, two sides of the
ceramic body will be laser marked with a “K” to identify KEMET,
followed by two characters (per EIA–198 - see table below) to
identify the capacitance value. EIA 0603 case size devices are
limited to the “K” character only.
Laser marking option is not available on:
C0G, Ultra Stable X8R and Y5V dielectric devices
EIA 0402 case size devices
EIA 0603 case size devices with Flexible Termination option.
KPS Commercial and Automotive Grade stacked devices.
X7R dielectric products in capacitance values outlined below
Marking appears in legible contrast. Illustrated below is an
example of an MLCC with laser marking of “KA8”, which
designates a KEMET device with rated capacitance of 100 µF.
Orientation of marking is vendor optional.

2. The tape with or without components shall pass around R without damage (see Figure 6).
3. If S1 < 1.0 mm, there may not be enough area for cover tape to be properly applied (see EIA Standard 481 paragraph 4.3 section b).
4. B1 dimension is a reference dimension for tape feeder clearance only.
5. The cavity de ned by A0, B0 and K0 shall surround the component with suf cient clearance that:
(a) the component does not protrude above the top surface of the carrier tape.
(b) the component can be removed from the cavity in a vertical direction without mechanical restriction, after the top cover tape has been removed.
(c) rotation of the component is limited to 20° maximum for 8 and 12 mm tapes and 10° maximum for 16 mm tapes (see Figure 3).
(d) lateral movement of the component is restricted to 0.5 mm maximum for 8 and 12 mm wide tape and to 1.0 mm maximum for 16 mm tape (see Figure 4).

1. The cavity de ned by A0, B0 and T shall surround the component with suf cient clearance that:
a) the component does not protrude beyond either surface of the carrier tape.
b) the component can be removed from the cavity in a vertical direction without mechanical restriction, after the top cover tape has been removed.
c) rotation of the component is limited to 20° maximum (see Figure 3).
d) lateral movement of the component is restricted to 0.5 mm maximum (see Figure 4).
e) see Addendum in EIA Standard 481 for standards relating to more precise taping requirements.
2. The tape with or without components shall pass around R without damage (see Figure 6).

Packaging Information Performance Notes
1. Cover Tape Break Force: 1.0 Kg minimum.
2. Cover Tape Peel Strength: The total peel strength of the cover tape from the carrier tape shall be:
Tape Width Peel Strength
8 mm 0.1 to 1.0 Newton (10 to 100 gf)
12 and 16 mm 0.1 to 1.3 Newton (10 to 130 gf)
The direction of the pull shall be opposite the direction of the carrier tape travel. The pull angle of the carrier tape shall be 165° to 180°
from the plane of the carrier tape. During peeling, the carrier and/or cover tape shall be pulled at a velocity of 300 ±10 mm/minute.
3. Labeling: Bar code labeling (standard or custom) shall be on the side of the reel opposite the sprocket holes. Refer to EIA
Standards 556 and 624.
