High-Q & Low ESR Capacitors (H Series): These capacitors offer high Q and low ESR with different specifications and performance charts compared to the M Series.
Reliability and Testing: Appendix I outlines the reliability test conditions and requirements, ensuring capacitors meet industry standards.
General Information: Appendix II provides additional information about the capacitors, including standard terms and conditions.
Specifications: The document details specifications for capacitance values, voltage ratings, and dielectric types such as X7R, X7E, X5R, and Y5V. It specifies insulation resistance requirements and dissipation factor (D.F.) limits for different voltage ratings and capacitor sizes.
Procedures: Test conditions for reliability assessments include humidity (damp heat) load and high-temperature load (endurance), specifying test temperatures, humidity levels, test durations, and voltage applications. These procedures ensure no significant damage occurs, and capacitance changes remain within specified limits.
Standards and Norms: The document adheres to standards for insulation resistance and dissipation factors across various voltage ratings and capacitor sizes. Guidelines for storage and handling are provided to maintain product reliability and solderability.
Recommendations: Recommendations include storing products at ambient temperatures of 5 to 40°C and relative humidity of 20 to 70%. It advises using products within one year of shipment and avoiding storage near corrosive gases or direct sunlight to prevent solderability issues.
Key Data from Tables: Detailed capacitance and voltage ratings for different capacitor sizes are provided, specifying minimum capacitance values for each size and voltage rating. Insulation resistance requirements for various dielectric types and voltage ratings are also outlined.
Critical Information: Insulation resistance must meet specified minimums depending on voltage and dielectric type. Dissipation factor limits vary by voltage rating and capacitor size. Storage conditions are crucial to maintaining product reliability and performance. Specific test conditions are required for reliability assessments, including temperature, humidity, and voltage application.

SOFT (FLEXIBLE) TERMINATIONW Soft Termination is available on most of our G Series Capacitors, 0805 case and larger. With up to 5mm of PCB flex, Soft Termination protects the MLCC from stress fractures with zero failures. Measuring Method The test sample is soldered onto a PCB and the PCB is deflected, with deflection rate of 1mm/s until the capacitance change exceeds ±12.5%, which is considered a failing point. The table below summarizes the deflection results: • Please contact Frontier Electronics for additional information and product availability.
