Serial Design

TDK Serial Design is a type of MLCC with the highest safety, adopting dual safety designs for crack occurrence prevention and short circuit occurrence prevention. The conductive resin layers are inserted in the terminal electrodes, and the resin electrode layers absorb stress applied by flex or thermal expansion of the board to prevent crack occurrences. The internal electrodes then adopt a special structure, which is equivalent to a serial connection of two capacitors. This structure reduces the risk of short-circuiting if a crack occurs in the capacitor element. The TDK CEU series is also compliant with AEC-Q200 and can be used for automotive applications.
