1. INTRODUCTION
HITANO Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors supplied in bulk or tape & reel package are ideally suitable for thick-film hybrid
circuits and automatic surface mounting on any printed circuit boards.
ST series use a special material between nickel-barrier and ceramic body. It provides excellent performance to withstand bending
stress occurred during process and provide more security for PCB process.
The nickel-barrier terminations are consisted of a nickel barrier layer over the silver metallization and then finished by
electroplated solder layer to ensure the terminations have good solderability. The nickel barrier layer in terminations prevents the
dissolution of termination when extended immersion in molten solder at elevated solder temperature.

7. Typical Bending Cracks of MLCC
MLCC ceramic body is consisted of rigidity material. It will be suffered compressive and tensional stress when the carried
board is bended. If the suffered stress is over ceramic body strength, the bending crack is occurred.
Therefore, the bending crack
will be only occurred after soldering process.

HITANO ST series is added a special termination material (Ultra-Buffer or Anti-Bend)between ceramic
body and Ni-barrier that can absorb mechanical stress to prevent bending crack occurred.
