Flexible Termination MLCCs

KEMET Flexible Termination technology is utilized in several series of surface-mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (MLCCs). These capacitors were developed to address flex cracks, the industry's primary failure mode for MLCCs. The Flexible termination directs circuit board stress away from the ceramic body and into the termination area. These MLCCs reduce the risk of mechanical damage to the component that can result in low IR and short circuit failures.
