Soft termination makes arrays more flexible
An
AVX product story

Jun 11, 2007
Capacitor arrays with Flexiterm soft termination can withstand over twice the PCB deflection of standard MLC devices without cracking.
AVX now offers capacitor arrays featuring its patented Flexiterm soft termination.
Like standard and multilayer ceramic capacitors, arrays will crack under excessive board flexure.
However, Flexiterm arrays can withstand over twice the PCB deflection of standard MLC devices without cracking.
The addition of a layer of epoxy silver in the termination means that the array is able to absorb mechanical stress which helps to protect the internal structure against short circuit failure.
Flexiterm arrays are offered in two or four element packages from 0405 to 0612 case sizes and are all RoHS compliant.
These arrays can be used in a number of high volume commercial decoupling applications, such as mobile communications as well as in higher temperature automotive systems, for example in engine management, control systems and dashboard electronics.
