TAIYO YUDEN Soft Termination Automotive MLCCs

TAIYO YUDEN Soft Termination Automotive Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) are designed for easy integration into surface mount assembly processes. These designs have a flexible, conductive resin layer that helps absorb stress, which reduces the risk of the capacitor cracking and the solder joints getting damaged. The Soft Termination MLCCs operate within a temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. These capacitors offer a capacitance range from 220pF to 47uF and capacitance tolerances of ±10% and ±20%. Typical applications include grades one and two: automotive, powertrain, safety, industrial equipment, and medical equipment.

Features

  • Absorbs mechanical stress, ensuring the longevity of electronic systems
  • AEC-Q200 qualified

Video Transcript

Goldfish are great low-maintenance pets for kids. Their downside is their short life expectancy. You’ll buy ten goldfish before your kiddo catches on that Mr. Bubbles doesn’t quite look the same anymore. With a soft termination coating on the external electrodes, TAIYO YUDEN’s MAJC series and MCJC series MLCCs offer superior performance under extreme conditions, with capacitance ranging from 1,000pF to 47μF for voltages from 6.3V to 630V, providing longer-term reliability. Due to their unique feature of absorbing mechanical stress on components themselves, these MLCCs effectively mitigate component cracks and withstand high heat cycles, ensuring the longevity of your electronic systems. The MAJC series and MCJC series soft termination type multilayer ceramic capacitors are best suited for applications in severe and harsh environments, such as powertrains or safety systems in automobiles, with requirements including operating temperatures up to 125°C and bending and vibration absorption capability with soft terminations.
