The C1210X104KCRAC3316 from KEMET Corporation is an Automotive Qualified Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor that is suitable for a variety of applications requiring proven, reliable performance in harsh environmental conditions. It has a capacitance of 0.1µF and a capacitance tolerance of ±10%. This AEC-Q200-qualified capacitor has a voltage rating of 500 V. It uses flexible termination technology that inhibits the transfer of board stress to the rigid ceramic body, thereby mitigating flex cracks, which can result in low IR and short-circuit failures. This power capacitor offers superior flex performance over standard termination systems and has a robust nature that is required for the mission and safety of critical automotive subsystems. It uses an X7R dielectric material, offers flex-bend capability of up to 5 mm, and exhibits a predictable change in capacitance to time and voltage.

This RoHS-compliant capacitor is available in a surface-mount package that measures 3.3 x 2.6 mm and is ideal for power factor correction (PFC), BMS, inverter, DC-DC converters, high voltage heaters, direct battery/power circuits, and filtering (power plane/bus) applications.
