The KYOCERA AVX 12101C225KAZ2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed with FLEXITERM technology to address the increasing demands for component robustness in automotive and other harsh environments. FLEXITERM enhances the mechanical flexure and temperature cycling performance of a standard ceramic capacitor with an X7R dielectric, providing up to 5mm of flexure. This design reduces circuit board flex failures and improves overall reliability, making it suitable for applications involving high flexure stress and variable temperatures, such as engine sensors and automotive systems. The capacitor is AEC-Q200 qualified and offers a significant improvement in mechanical performance compared to standard termination systems.
