Multilayer ceramic capacitor

B37941X

MLSC series

MLSC 0805, 50 V and 100 V

Description

The MLSC series was designed for applications directly linked to a power source / voltage source

(e.g. battery, clamp 30 in automotive applications) and safety relevant application without (integrated)

current limitation.

Features

The MLSC (Multi Layer Serial Ceramic Capacitor) consists of two serial connected capacitors

in one component

Due to the special design the probability of a short circuit is much reduced

- in case of a bending crack

- in many cases of an assembling crack

- in many cases of a solder shock crack

The MLSC meets the requirements of automotive manufacturers for a (redundant) serial

connection of two capacitors, if the application is directly connected to the battery, in one

component.

Reduced number of components leads to

- increased reliability

- place saving on the PCB

- reduced assembling time

The MLSC is based on established MLCC technology, but with more robust design. This

MLCC technology offers highest reliability (ppb-rate) and long term field experience.

The MLSC offers high reliability due to more stringent process control and end of line testing,

which enables the achievement of a 10 ppb level for the application failure rate (measure: 0

mileage and field), see chapter ppb – Level Assurance System page 12.

The MLSC meets AEC-Q200 requirements, see pages 7 – 11.

The specified bending strength is 2 mm according to piezo electric method (∆I measurement)

The MLSC is suitable for applications with temperature requirements up to 150 °C with respect

to the voltage derating and short term temperature peaks up to 175 °C without load, see

chapter High Temperature Application page 3.

The MLSC is lead free in terms of RoHS.

Nickel barrier termination

BME technology

The MLSC offers a selected range of capacitance in case size 0805 (rated voltage 50 V and

100 V).
