●he “Flexible Termination (FT-CAP)” capacitor is a surface mount multi-layer ceramic capacitor that incorporates a unique, flexible termination system that is integrated with standard termination materials. A conductive silver epoxy is utilized between the conductive metallization and nickel barrier finish in order to establish pliability while maintaining terminal strength, solderability and electrical performance. This technology was developed to address the primary failure mode of MLCC"s, flex cracks, which are typically the result of excessive shear stresses produced during board flexure. Flexible termination technology directs board flex stress away from the ceramic body and into the conductive epoxy area, therefore mitigating flex cracks which can result in low-IR or short-circuit failures.
