AVX 1206 Flexiterm Series MLCC CapacitorsAVX multilayer ceramic capacitors with FLEXITERM are designed to enhance the mechanical flexure and temperature cycling performance of a standard ceramic capacitor with an X7R dielectric.The FLEXITERM technology was developed by AVX to meet the demand for components with enhanced mechanical strength and flexibility when used in harsh environment applications, such as automobiles, and in applications where temperature variation exists. It provides up to 5mm of flexure without internal cracks, 3mm above the 2mm industry standard.These MLCCs reduce circuit board flex failures and offer increased temperature cycling performance of 3,000 cycles and beyond, a base metal electrode system, and automotive and commercial grade product selections. AEC-Q200 qualified.ApplicationsHigh flexure stress circuit boardsVariable temperature applicationsAutomotive applicationsAutomotive MLC capacitors cover a wide range of case sizes, capacitance values, and working voltages. These products are not suitable for automotive industry only, but for all improved reliability applications as well. Capacitors are continuously tested in QA (Quality Assurance) laboratories. Results of these tests enable to maintain superior quality. All AVX manufacturing facilities are QS9000 and VDA 6.4 approved. Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) have been developed, manufactured and specially tested for applications in Automotive industry. All components comply with AEC-Q200 standard – Stress Test Qualification for Passive Components. Detailed qualification package is available on requesVoltage: 16V to 500VCase Size: 0402 to 2220Capacitance Range: 1pF to 22uFDielectric: NP0 (C0G), X7R, X8RAVX Corporation has supported the Automotive Industry requirements for Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors consistently for more than 10 years. Products have been developed and tested specifically for automotive applications and all manufacturing facilities are QS9000 and VDA 6.4 approved. As part of our sustained investment in capacity and state of the art technology, we are now transitioning from the established Pd/Ag electrode system to a Base Metal Electrode system (BME).X7R dielectric components containing BME electrode and copper terminations with a Ni/Sn plated overcoat.X7R dielectric components, BME electrode with epoxy finish for conductive glue mounting.X7R dielectric components BME electrode and soft terminations with a Ni/Sn plated overcoat.NP0 dielectric components containing Pd/Ag electrode and silver termination with a Ni/Sn plated overcoat.1206 RangeC0G (NP0) is the most popular formulation of the 'temperature-compensating', EIA Class I ceramic materialsX7R formulations are called 'temperature stable' ceramics and fall into EIA Class II materialsY5V formulations are for general-purpose use in a limited temperature range.These characteristics make Y5V ideal for decoupling applications
