Fig. 1 The outline of MLCC
Description:
MLCC consists of a conducting material and electrodes. To manu-
facture a chip-type SMT and achieve miniaturization, high density
and high efciency, ceramic condensers are used. WTC RF series
MLCC is used at high frequencies generally have a small tempera-
ture coefcient of capacitance, typical within the ±30ppm/°C required
for NP0 (C0G) classication and have excellent conductivity internal
electrode. Thus, WTC RF series MLCC will be with the feature of low
ESR and high Q characteristics.

Storage and handling conditions
(1) To store products at 5°C to 40°C 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 sulde, 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.
