KEMET SMD Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor, FT-CAP, 10µF 10V, 1206

The KEMET SMD Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (FT-CAP) is a commercial-grade surface-mount component designed for reliability in demanding electronic applications. It features a flexible termination system that mitigates mechanical stress from board flexure and temperature cycling, significantly enhancing its operational lifespan. This capacitor utilises an X7R dielectric material, providing stable capacitance performance over a broad temperature range.

This 10µF capacitor with a 10V DC rating is engineered for circuits directly connected to battery or power sources, including critical safety-relevant systems. Its robust construction makes it ideal for applications subject to high levels of stress, such as raw power input filtering on power planes, high-current automobile battery lines, and circuits where traditional fusing is not feasible. The pure matte tin-plated terminations ensure excellent solderability for reliable PCB assembly.

Key Features & Applications

• Flexible Termination (FT-CAP): Superior flex performance, capable of withstanding board deflection up to 5mm, protecting against cracking.
• High Reliability: Specifically suited for critical circuits without integrated current limitation, offering peace of mind in safety-relevant designs.
• Broad Market Use: Widely adopted across consumer electronics, medical devices, industrial power supplies, automotive systems, aerospace, and telecommunications infrastructure.
• Stable Performance: The X7R dielectric ensures consistent 10µF capacitance (±10% tolerance) across an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Encased in a compact 1206 (3216 metric) package, this component delivers high capacitance in a space-saving footprint, making it a versatile and dependable choice for modern, high-density electronic designs where durability and performance are paramount.
