2 mm minimum flex capability
Fail open electrode designs
Low to high capacitance flex mitigation
Provides protection against a low IR
or short circuit condition
• Pb-Free and RoHS compliant
• Is this a critical and safety relevant circuit?
• Is your circuit board subject to high levels
of board flexure during assembly, mounting or
depanelization?
• Are you placing MLCCs close to the edges or
corners of your board?
• Are MLCCs being placed near or around
connectors or heavy components?
• Do you require a case size smaller than
EIA 0603?
• Is mechanical or thermal stress a concern
in your application?
• Is your application commercial or automotive?
• What is your capacitance requirement?
