INTRODUCTION WTC middle and high voltage series MLCC is designed by a special internal electrode pattern, which can reduce voltage concentrations by distributing voltage gradients throughout the entire capacitor. This special design also affords increased capacitance values in a given case size and voltage rating. Chips size 1206 and larger to use on reflow soldering process only. Capacitors with X7R dielectrics are not intended for AC line filtering applications. Capacitors may require protective surface coating to prevent external arcing. 2. FEATURES 3. APPLICATIONS a. b. a. b. c. d. High voltage in a given case size. High stability and reliability. Snubbers in high frequency power converters. High voltage coupling/DC blocking. DC-DC converters.

Storage and handling conditions (1) To store products at 5 to 40C ambient temperature and 20 to 70%. related humidity conditions. (2) The product is recommended to be used within one year after shipment. Check solderability in case of shelf life extension is needed. Cautions: a. The corrosive gas reacts on the terminal electrodes of capacitors, and results in the poor solderability. Do not store the capacitors in the ambience of corrosive gas (e.g., hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, ammonia gas etc.) b. In corrosive atmosphere, solderability might be degraded, and silver migration might occur to cause low reliability. c. Due to the dewing by rapid humidity change, or the photochemical change of the terminal electrode by direct sunlight,the solderability and electrical performance may deteriorate. Do not store capacitors under direct sunlight or dewing condition. To store products on the shelf and avoid exposure to moisture.
