FlexiCap™ Flexible Termination

Syfer's FlexiCap will virtually eliminate mechanical flex cracking problems

Image of Syfer Flexicap Flexible TerminationDeveloped and marketed by Syfer in 2001, FlexiCap flexible termination has been on PC boards for tens of thousands of operating hours. No other flexible termination on the market has a track record as long as Syfer's. An estimated 99% of all ceramic chip failures are due to mechanical flex. FlexiCap is applied to the device under the standard nickel barrier finish to accommodate a greater degree of board bending than conventional capacitors, virtually eliminating mechanical flex cracking problems. FlexiCap is RoHS-compliant and compatible with both leaded and lead-free solder processes. This unique technology was also awarded the Queens award for innovation.

Features Applications
  • Operating range: -55°C to +125°C (max. capacitance change: ±15%)
  • Insulation resistance: 100 gigohm or 1000 s, whichever is less
  • Dissipation factor: <0.025
  • Dielectric strength with voltage applied for 5 seconds:
    ≤ 200 V: 2.5 times; 500 and 630 V: 1.5 times;
    ≥ 1 kV: 1.25 times
  • Allows a greater degree of PCB deflection, typically twice that of standard MLCCs
  • FlexiCap termination does not affect electrical characteristics or performance of the devices, which can be used with no changes to the manufacturing process
  • Power supplies: DC-DC converters, UPS systems
  • Telecom: backplanes, line cards, modems, and base stations
  • Lighting ballasts
  • Industrial
