Approval sheet Open Mode Series MULTILAYER CERAMIC CAPACITORS

Category: Capacitors, Electronics, Walsin Technology Corp

Introduction

Walsin Technology Corporation introduces the Open-Mode Series of Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC) with voltage ratings ranging from 100V to 500V, and available sizes from 0805 to 1812. The XZR dielectric and RoHS compliance are highlighted features. These capacitors are uniquely designed with an internal electrode pattern that evenly distributes voltage gradients across the entire component, significantly reducing voltage concentrations. This results in a characteristic open-mode pattern, which provides enhanced safety by preventing circuit leakage and potential damage during conditions that may cause board flexing. It is noteworthy that the contents of this datasheet are subject to change without prior notice.

Features

The Open-Mode series offers several advantages, such as the capability to handle high voltages in a given case size, ensuring circuit integrity through an open mode in scenarios where the product may experience cracking, as well as displaying high stability and reliability in performance.

Applications

The capacitors are suitable for an array of applications, particularly those that require handling high current. These include power supply designs and related industry products, as well as other applications where mechanical stress is a concern.

How to Order

Ordering the Open-Mode MLCCs involves specifying the series as ‘OP’ for Open-Mode, followed by a combination of codes that denote the size, dielectric type, capacitance, tolerance, rated voltage, termination, and packaging. For instance, ‘OP 32 B 103 K 201 L’ denotes Open-Mode MLCCs of size 1210 (3225 metric), with XZR dielectric, a capacitance of 10,000 picofarads (pF), a tolerance of ±10%, a rated voltage of 200VDC, with Ag/NiSn termination. The termination codes are important for compatibility with different mounting processes and should be appropriately selected from the product range provided. The components may be packaged on a 7″ or 13″ reel, with designations ‘T’ and ‘G’, respectively.
