FLEXICAP(R) POLYMER TERMINATION NOVACAP offers polymer terminated capacitors, which are able to accommodate a significantly increased degree of board flexure compared with standard terminated capacitors. These devices will afford a wider process window, increased safety margin, and substantially reduce the cracks from mechanical stress.1 These devices require no change to the assembly process, equipment set up, or storage procedures. The polymer terminated capacitors are offered in all dielectrics but the most significant benefit occurs with X7R and Y5V dielectrics. All combination of voltage ratings and capacitance offerings listed in the catalog for case sizes 0603 through 3640 are available. PCB BEND TEST RESULTS Mean Bend Standard Term.

Good process controls are still required for this objective to be achieved. 26 www..
