KEMET C1210F474K1RACTU SMD Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor, 1210 [3225 Metric], 0.47 µF, 100 V, ± 10%, X7R, F Series FO-CAP

The F series ceramic Open Mode Capacitor in X7R dielectric is designed to significantly minimize the probability of a low IR or short-circuit condition when forced to failure in a board stress flex situation, thus reducing the potential for catastrophic failure. The open mode capacitor may experience a drop in capacitance, however, a short is unlikely because a crack will not typically propagate across counter electrodes within the device's active area. Since there will not be any current leakage associated with a typical open mode flex crack, there is no localized heating and therefore little chance for a catastrophic and potentially costly failure event. Driven by the demand for a more robust and reliable component. The open mode capacitor was designed for critical applications where higher operating temperatures and mechanical stress are a concern. These capacitors are widely used in automotive circuits and general electronic applications.
