The C3216X7R1H105K160AB is a multilayer ceramic Chip Capacitor, X7R temperature characteristics and 1206 case. High capacitance has been achieved through precision technologies that enable the use of multiple thinner ceramic dielectric layers. A monolithic structure ensures superior mechanical strength and reliability. Low ESL and excellent frequency characteristics allow for a circuit design that closely conforms to theoretical values.
The Murata GRM series capacitors are Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (MLCC) used for general purpose applications. These MLCC capacitors are classified into temperature compensating and high dielectric constant types depending on the change in electrostatic capacitance due to change in temperature. The temperature compensating capacitors feature a small rate of change in electrostatic capacitance as the temperature changes and are used for applications such as filters and high frequency circuit matching. The high dielectric constant capacitors use materials with a high dielectric constant and feature a large electrostatic capacitance. Typical applications are power supply decoupling and smoothing circuits.
KEMET"s 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 with 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.
