FLEXITERM V+ SeriesHigh Voltage MLC Chipsfor Mechanical and Thermal Flex SolutionsCAPACITORSTo make high voltage multilayer ceramic capacitors, larger case sizes are normally required.These larger case sizes mean that additional care has to be taken when utilizing the componentsin surface mount assemblies, to avoid damage due to thermal or mechanical stress. In responseto this, and as an extension of the successful FLEXITERM range of lower/standard voltageparts, AVX is now able to offer a FLEXITERM high voltage range of capacitors designatedFLEXITERM V+.Applications:• Snubbers in high frequency powerconverters• Resonators in SMPS• High voltage coupling/DC blockingKey Features/Benefits:FLEXITERM V+ parts are designed toenhance the mechanical flexure andtemperature cycling performance of astandard high voltage ceramic capacitor,giving customers a superior solution whereboard flexure or temperature cycle damageare concerns.50
