0805 size FT-CAP SMT MLCC ceramic capacitors that offer flex performance of up to 5 mm by using a flexible termination system that minimises the transfer of board flex stress to the component body. These FT-CAP MLCC SMT ceramic capacitors have pliable and conductive silver epoxy between the base metal and nickel barrier layers of the termination system. This inhibits the transfer of board stress to the ceramic body reducing the occurrence of flex cracks which can result in low IR or short circuit failures. In addition, these FT-CAP MLCC ceramic capacitors have a wide operating temperature range of -55 to + 125°C, low ESR and ESL, high thermal stability and high ripple current capability.

Typical applications for these FT-CAP MLCC ceramic capacitors include:
Power supplies
LCD fluorescent backlight ballasts
HID lighting
Telecom equipment
Industrial and medical equipment/control
LAN/WAN interface
Analogue and digital modems and automotive applications

0805 Range

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.
