Murata’s GCB series of MLCCs meet this requirement with a maximum operating temperature of 200°C. they are also capable of being bonded and mounted using the conductive adhesives commonly used to meet the demands of an automotive environment.
The GCB series features a capacitance range of 1,000pF to 0.47μF in 0402 and 0603 sizes. They have operating temperature ranges from -55 to +150°C (X8R) or -55 to +200°C (X9M) and have a working voltage of 10 to 100VDC.
The capacitors feature newly developed electrodes made of nickel and palladium. These produce a high bonding reliability with conductive adhesives even during use in high-temperature environments. Furthermore, the terminal electrodes of the capacitors have a superior corrosion resistance compared with our previous and existing products.
The GCB series satisfies the AEC-Q200 stress test qualifications for passive components and will enter mass production in 2016.
