46 GENERAL DESCRIPTION With increased requirements from the automotive industry for additional component robustness, AVX recognized the need to produce a MLCC with enhanced mechanical strength. It was noted that many components may be subject to severe flexing and vibration when used in various under the hood automotive and other harsh environment applications. To satisfy the requirement for enhanced mechanical strength, AVX had to find a way of ensuring electrical integrity is maintained whilst external forces are being applied to the component. It was found that the structure of the termination needed to be flexible and after much research and development, AVX launched FLEXITERM ® . FLEXITERM ® is designed to enhance the mechanical flexure and temperature cycling performance of a standard ceramic capacitor with an X7R dielectric. The industry standard for flexure is 2mm minimum. Using FLEXITERM ® , AVX provides up to 5mm of flexure without internal cracks. Beyond 5mm, the capacitor will generally fail “open”. As well as for automotive applications FLEXITERM ® will provide Design Engineers with a satisfactory solution when designing PCB’s which may be subject to high levels of board flexure. MLCC with FLEXITERM ® General Specifications APPLICATIONS High Flexure Stress Circuit Boards • e.g. Depanelization: Components near edges of board. Variable Temperature Applications • Soft termination offers improved reliability per- formance in applications where there is tem- perature variation. • e.g. All kind of engine sensors: Direct connection to battery rail. Automotive Applications • Improved reliability. • Excellent mechanical performance and thermo mechanical performance. PRODUCT ADVANTAGES • High mechanical performance able to withstand, 5mm bend test guaranteed. • Increased temperature cycling performance, 3000 cycles and beyond. • Flexible termination system. • Reduction in circuit board flex failures. • Base metal electrode system. • Automotive or commercial grade products available.
