●KEMET"s Ceramic Open Mode capacitor in X7R dielectric is designed to significantly minimize the probability of a low IR or short circuit condition when forced to failure in a board stress flex situation, thus reducing the potential for catastrophic failure. The Open Mode capacitor may experience a drop in capacitance; however, a short is unlikely because a crack will not typically propagate across counter electrodes with the device"s “active area.” Since there will not be any current leakage associated with a typical Open-Mode flex crack, there is no localized heating and therefore little chance for a catastrophic and potentially costly failure event.
