KYOCERA AVX FLEXITERM MLCCs

KYOCERA AVX FLEXITERM MLCCs series features flexible terminations designed to withstand mechanical stress in harsh environments. These capacitors use X7R/X8R dielectric and support bending up to 5mm without cracking, exceeding the industry standard of 2mm. The FLEXITERM MLCCs offers capacitance ranges from 220pF to 22μF and with voltage ratings from 6.3Vdc to 500Vdc. These components maintain stable performance across 3000+ temperature cycles (-55°C to +125°C) and fail safely in an open mode under extreme flexure. Applications include automotive sensors, high-flex PCBs, and depanelization near board edges.
