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).

Applications

Applications directly linked to a power source / voltage source and safety relevant application without (integrated) current limitation. Some examples:

▪ Automotive electronics (e.g. clamp 30, RF filter in small power motors, security control

systems or drive and engine control units)

▪ Power electronics (e.g. DC/DC converter)

▪ Mobile devices with battery / accumulator (e.g. filter at charging set)
