Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor with unique design to reduce short failures

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document provides technical specifications and guidelines for the C Series of Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (MLCC) in commercial grade open mode. The capacitors are available in various sizes and configurations, including C2012, C3216, C3225, C4532, and C5750, corresponding to EIA standards CC0805, CC1206, CC1210, CC1812, and CC2220 respectively.

Safety Reminders: Users are advised to contact the company if the product is intended for critical applications that may result in loss of life or damage. The document also notes that product specifications may change without notice, and export restrictions may apply under certain laws.

Specifications: The capacitors are characterized by their dimensions, temperature characteristics, rated voltage, nominal capacitance, and capacitance tolerance. The document provides detailed tables listing these specifications for each capacitor type.

Design Features: The open mode design of these capacitors is intended to reduce the risk of short circuits due to mechanical stress, such as board bending. This is achieved by a wider gap between the terminal and internal electrodes.

Applications: These capacitors are suitable for high reliability and high mechanical stress applications, including battery line circuits and DC-DC converters.

Capacitance Range: The document includes extensive tables detailing the capacitance range, temperature characteristics, and rated voltage for each capacitor type. The capacitance is expressed in pico Farads (pF) using a three-digit code system.

Packaging and Catalog Numbering: The document explains the catalog numbering system, which includes details on product thickness and packaging style. It also notes changes in catalog numbers effective from January 2013.
