TDK C Series Soft Termination MLCCs

TDK C Series Soft Termination MLCCs are designed for use in applications where significant board flex may occur, especially in safety or high-reliability designs. Safety-critical automotive applications such as ABS, ESP, airbags, and battery line applications commonly utilize TDK Soft Termination Capacitors. Conventional termination materials used in standard MLCCs are inflexible, giving vibration, shock, or thermal expansion and contraction the potential to crack or shear the solder joint between the component and the circuit board. In automotive applications, which are exposed to shock and vibration and to extreme temperature swings, this can result in higher failure rates. TDK C Series Soft Termination MLCCs provide very high resistance to mechanical and thermal stress to ensure the component can meet the requirements of automotive OEMs.
