FlexiCap™ has been developed as a result of listening to customers’ experiences of stress damage to MLCCs
A proprietary flexible epoxy polymer termination material, that is applied to the device under the usual nickel barrier finish
FlexiCapT™ will accommodate a greater degree of board bending than conventional capacitors
An additional benefit of FlexiCap™ is that MLCCs can withstand temperature cycling -55ºC to 125ºC in excess of 1000 times without cracking
FlexiCap™ may be soldered using your traditional wave or reflow solder techniques and needs no adjustment to equipment or current processes

Nickel barrier terminations covered with a layer of plated Tin (NiSn). Applications include mobile phones, video and tuner designs, COG/NPO is the most popular formulation of the "temperature compensating", EIA Class I ceramic materials, X7R, X5R formulations are called "temperature stable" ceramics and fall into the EIA Class II materials, Y5V, Z5U formulations are for general purpose use in a limited temperature range, EIA Class II materials; these characteristics are ideal for decoupling applications.
