C0603X103G5JACTU

Automotive Grade Flexible Termination (FT-CAP) multilayer ceramic capacitor in X7R dielectric incorporates a unique, flexible termination system that is integrated with standard termination materials. A conductive silver epoxy is utilized between the base metal and nickel barrier layers of standard termination system in order to establish pliability while maintaining terminal strength, solderability and electrical performance. This technology was developed in order to address the primary failure mode of MLCCs- flex cracks, which are typically the result of excessive tensile and shear stresses produced during board flexure and thermal cycling. Flexible termination technology inhibits the transfer of board stress to the rigid ceramic body, therefore mitigating flex cracks which can result in low IR or short circuit failures. Capacitance change with reference to ambient temperature is limited to ±15% from -55°C to +125°C.
