The TDK soft termination CGA series, automotive grade of TDK's multilayer ceramic chip capacitor, is a product incorporating a conductive resin layer into the terminal electrodes. The resin layer protects the ceramic body from cracks by relieving stress caused by thermal shock and board flexure. It is used in applications such as fail safe design for battery line, prevention of ceramic element crack by board bending, prevention of solder crack by thermal shock, equipment such as mobile devices and smart key having a high possibility of drop.

High resistance to mechanical stress and thermal shock by resin layers
X8R and X8L type whose maximum temperature are up to 150 degree Celsius are available
C0G type having excellent stable temperature and DC-bias characteristics is also available
AEC-Q20
