Caution/Notice
Product Characteristic data
1 Capacitance
The capacitance is the ratio of the change in an electric charge according to voltage change. Due to the fact that the capacitance
may be subject to change with the measured voltage and frequency, it is highly recommended to measure the capacitance based
on the following conditions.
The following table shows the voltage and frequency condition according to the capacitance range.
[The voltage and frequency condition according to MLCC the capacitance range]
ClassⅠ ClassⅡ
Ⅱ. It is recommended to use measurement equipment with the ALC (Auto Level Control) option.
The reason is that when capacitance or measurement frequency is high, the output voltage of measurement equipment can
be lower than the setting voltage due to the equipment limitation. Note that when capacitance or measurement frequency
is excessively high, the measurement equipment may show ALC off warning and provide a lower output voltage than the
setting voltage even with ALC option selected. It is necessary to ensure the output voltage of measurement equipment is the
same as the setting voltage before measuring capacitance.
Ⅲ. Capacitance value of high dielectric constant (ClassⅡ) MLCC changes with applied AC and DC voltage. Therefore, it is
necessary to take into account MLCC’s AC voltage characteristics and DC-bias voltage characteristics when applying MLCC to
the actual circuit.
Ⅳ. T
he capacitance is in compliance with the EIA RS-198-1-F-2002.
2 Tan δ (DF)
I. An ideal MLCC’s energy loss is zero, but real MLCC has dielectric loss and resistance loss of electrode. DF (Dissipation Factor)
is defined as the ratio of loss energy to stored energy and typically being calculated as percentage.
Ⅱ. Quality factor (Q factor) is defined as the ratio of stored energy to loss energy. The equation can be described as 1/DF.
Normally the loss characteristic of Class I MLCC is presented in Q, since the DF value is so small whereas the loss characteristic
of ClassⅡ MLCC is presented in DF.
Ⅲ. It is recommended to use ClassⅠ MLCC for applications to require good linearity and low loss such as coupling circuit, filter
circuit and time constant circuit.
Caution/Notice
3 Insulation Resistance
Ceramic dielectric has a low leakage current with DC voltage due to the high insulating properties.
Insulation resistance is defined as the ratio of a leakage current to DC voltage.
hen applying DC voltage to MLCC, a charging current and a leakage current flow together at the initial stage of
I. W
measurement. While the charging current decreases, and insulation resistance (IR) in MLCC is saturated by time. Therefore,
insulation resistance shall be measured 1 minute after applying the rated voltage.
4 Capacitance Aging
The aging characteristic is that the high dielectric (ClassⅡ) MLCC decreases capacitance value over time. It is also necessary to
consider the aging characteristic with voltage and temperature characteristics when Class II MLCC is used in circuitry.
I. In general, aging causes capacitance to decrease linearly with the log of time as shown in the following graph. Please check
with SEMCO for more details, since the value may vary between different models.
fter heat treatment (150 °C, 1hour), the capacitance decreased by aging is recovered, so aging should be considered again

5 Temperature Characteristics of Capacitance (TCC)
Please consider temperature characteristics of capacitance since the electrical characteristics such as capacitance changes which
is caused by a change in ceramic dielectric constant by temperature.
I. It is necessary to check the values specified in section “C. Reliability test Condition–Temperature Characteristics” for the
temperature and capacitance change range of MLCC.

Ⅱ. When selecting MLCC, it is necessary to consider the heat characteristics of a system, room temperature and TCC of MLCC,
since the applied temperature may change the capacitance of MLCC.
Ⅲ. In addition, Bias TCC of MLCC should be taken into account when DC voltage is applied to MLCC.
6 Self-heating Temperature
It is necessary to design the system, with considering self-heating generated by the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of MLCC
when AC voltage or pulse voltage is applied to MLCC.
(Applicable to Rated Voltage of less than 100Vdc) * Sample : X7R 1uF, Rated voltage 50V
Caution/Notice
7 DC & AC Voltage Characteristics
It is required to consider voltage characteristics in the circuit since the capacitance value of high dielectric constant MLCC(ClassⅡ)
is changed by applied DC & AC voltage.
I. Please ensure the capacitance change is within the allowed operating range of a system. In particular, when high dielectric
constant type MLCC (ClassⅡ) is used in circuit with narrow allowed capacitance tolerance, a system should be designed with
considering DC voltage, temperature characteristics and aging characteristics of MLCC.
Ⅱ. It is necessary to consider the AC voltage characteristics of MLCC and the AC voltage of a system, since the capacitance value
of high dielectric constant type MLCC (ClassⅡ) varies with the applied AC voltage.

8 Impedance Characteristic
Electrical impedance (Z) of MLCC is the measurement of the opposition that MLCC presents to a current (I) when a voltage (V) is
applied. It is defined as the ratio of the voltage to the current (Z=V/I). Impedance extends the concept of resistance to AC circuits
and is a complex number consisting of the real part of resistance (R) and the imaginary part of reactance (X) as Z=R+jX.
Therefore, it is required to design circuit with consideration of the impedance characteristics of MLCC based on the frequency
( Z=R+jX )
LCC operates as a capacitor in the low frequency and its reactance (XC) decreases as frequency increases ( X_C=1/j2πfC )
I. M
where f is frequency and C is capacitance. The resistance (ESR; Equivalent Series Resistance) of MLCC in the low frequency
mainly comes from the loss of its dielectric material.
LCC operates as an inductor in the high frequency and the inductance of MLCC is called ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance).
Ⅱ. M
The reactance (XL) of MLCC in the high frequency increases as frequency increases (X_L=j2πf·ESL). The resistance (ESR) of
MLCC in the high frequency mainly comes from the loss of its electrode metal.
Ⅲ. SRF (Self Resonant Frequency) of MLCC is the frequency Impedance IZI, ESR
where its capacitive reactance (XC) and inductive 1000
reactance (XL) cancel each other and the impedance of (Capacitor region) (Inductor region)
MLCC has only ESR at SRF. 100

Caution/Notice
Electrical & Mechanical Caution
1 Applied Voltage
The actual applied voltage on MLCC should not exceed the rated voltage set in the specifications.
For DC voltage or DC+AC voltage, DC voltage or the maximum value of DC + AC voltage should not exceed the rated
voltage of MLCC.
For AC voltage or pulse voltage, the peak-to-peak value of AC voltage or pulse voltage should not exceed the rated voltage
of MLCC.
Abnormal voltage such as surge voltage, static electricity should not exceed the rated voltage of MLCC.

Ⅱ.
Effect of EOS (Electrical Overstress)
Electrical Overstress can cause damages to MLCC, resulting in the electrical short failure caused by the dielectric breakdown
in MLCC.
Down time of MLCC is varied with the applied voltage and the room temperature and a dielectric shock caused by EOS can
accelerate heating on the dielectric. Therefore, it can bring about a failure of MLCC in a market at the early stage.
Please use caution not to apply excessive electrical overstress including spike voltage MLCC when preparing MLCC for
testing or evaluating.
2 Vibration
Please check the types of vibration and shock, and the status of resonance. Manage MLCC not to generate resonance and avoid
any kind of impact to terminals. When MLCC is used in a vibration environment, please make sure to contact us for the situation
and consider special MLCC such as Soft-term, etc.
3 Shock
Mechanical stress caused by a drop may cause damages to a dielectric or a crack in MLCC. Do not use a dropped MLCC to avoid
any quality and reliability deterioration. When piling up or handling printed circuit boards, do not hit MLCC with the corners of a
PCB to prevent cracks or any other damages to the MLCC.
4 Piezo-electric Phenomenon
MLCC may generate a noise due to vibration at specific frequency when using the high dielectric constant MLCC (Class Ⅱ) at AC
or Pulse circuits. MLCC may cause a noise if MLCC is affected by any mechanical vibrations or shocks
Caution/Notice

It is recommended to locate the major axis of MLCC in parallel to the direction in which the stress
Please take the following measures to effectively reduce the stress generated from the cutting of PCB. Select the mounting
location shown below, since the mechanical stress is affected by a location and a direction of MLCC mounted near the cutting
line.

Ⅲ. C
autions during mounting near screw
If MLCC is mounted near a screw hole, the board deflection may be occurred by screw torque. Mount MLCC as far from the
screw holes as possible.
Caution/Notice

Ⅱ. C
heck the capacitance characteristics under actual applied voltage.
Ⅲ. C
heck the mechanical stress when actual process and equipment is in use.
Ⅳ. Check the rated capacitance, rated voltage and other electrical characteristics before assembly. Heat treatment must be done
prior to measurement of capacitance.
Ⅴ. Check the solderability of MLCC that has passed shelf life before use.
Ⅵ. The use of Sn-Zn based solder may deteriorate the reliability of MLCC.
Excessive pressure may cause cracks in MLCC. It is recommended to adjust the nozzle pressure within the maximum value of
300g.f. Additional conditions must be set for both thin film and special purpose MLCC.
Ⅱ. Bending Stress
When using a two-sided substrate, it is required to mount MLCC on one side first before mounting on the other side due to
the bending of the substrate caused by the mounting head.
Support the substrate as shown in the picture below when MLCC is mounted on the other side. If the substrate is not
supported, bending of the substrate may cause cracks in MLCC.
Nozzle
Force
Support Pin
Ⅲ. S
uction nozzle
Dust accumulated in a suction nozzle and suction mechanism can impede a smooth movement of the nozzle. This may cause
cracks in MLCC due to the excessive force during mounting. If the mounting claw is worn out, it may cause cracks in MLCC
due to the uneven force during positioning. A regular inspection such as maintenance, monitor and replacement for the
suction nozzle and mounting claw should be conducted.
Caution/Notice
4 Reflow soldering
MLCC is in a direct contact with the dissolved solder during soldering, which may be exposed to potential mechanical stress
caused by the sudden temperature change. Therefore, MLCC may be contaminated by the location movement and flux. For the
reason, the mounting process must be closely monitored.

Use caution not to exceed the peak temperature (260℃) and time (30sec) as shown. Pre-heating is necessary for all
constituents including the PCB to prevent the mechanical damages on MLCC. The temperature difference between the PCB
and the component surface must be kept to the minimum.
As for reflow soldering, it is recommended to keep the number of reflow soldering to less than three times. Please check with
us when the number of reflow soldering needs to exceed three times. Care must be exercised especially for the ultra-small
size, thin film and high capacitance MLCC as they can be affected by thermal stress more easily.
Caution/Notice

Overly the thick application of solder pastes results in an excessive solder fillet height. This makes MLCC more vulnerable to
the mechanical and thermal stress from the board, which may cause cracks in MLCC.
Too little solder paste results in a lack of the adhesive strength, which may cause MLCC to isolate from PCB
It is required to design a PCB with consideration of a solder land pattern and its size to apply an appropriate amount of
solder to MLCC. The amount of the solder at the edge may impact directly on cracks in MLCC.

Take caution not to exceed peak temperature (260℃) and time (5sec) as shown.
Please contact us before use the type of high capacitance and thin film MLCC for some exceptions that may be caused.
When a sudden heat is applied to MLCC, the mechanical rigidity of MLCC is deteriorated by the internal deformation
of MLCC. Preheating all the constituents including PCB is required to prevent the mechanical damages on MLCC. The
temperature difference between the solder and the surface of MLCC must be kept to the minimum.
If the flow time is too long or the flow temperature is too high, the adhesive strength with PCB may be deteriorated by the
leaching phenomenon of the outer termination, or the capacitance value may be dropped by weak adhesion between the
internal termination and the outer termination.
Caution/Notice
6 Soldering Iron
Manual soldering can pose a great risk on creating thermal cracks in MLCC. The high temperature soldering iron tip may come
into a direct contact with the ceramic body of MLCC due to the carelessness of an operator. Therefore, the soldering iron must
be handled carefully, and close attention must be paid to the selection of the soldering iron tip and to temperature control of the
tip.
In order to minimize damages on MLCC, preheating MLCC and PCB is necessary. A hot plate and a hot air type preheater
should be used for preheating
Do not cool down MLCC and PCB rapidly after soldering.
Keep the contact time between the outer termination of MLCC and the soldering iron as short as possible. Long soldering
time may cause problems such as adhesion deterioration by the leaching phenomenon of the outer termination.

Cautions for re-work
7 Cleaning
I. In general, cleaning is unnecessary if rosin flux is used.
When acidic flux is used strongly, chlorine in the flux may dissolve into some types of cleaning fluids, thereby affecting the
performance of MLCC. This means that the cleansing solution must be carefully selected and should always be new.
Ⅱ.
Cautions for cleaning
MLCC or solder joint may be cracked with the vibration of PCB, if ultrasonic vibration is too strong during cleaning. When
high pressure cleaning equipment is used, test should be done for the cleaning equipment and its process before the cleaning
in order to avoid damages on MLCC.
Caution/Notice
8 Cautions for using electrical measuring probes
Confirm the position of the support pin or jig when checking the electrical performance of MLCC after mounting on the PCB.
Watch for PCB bending caused by the pressure of a test-probe or other equipment.
If the PCB is bent by the force from the test probe, MLCC may be cracked or the solder joint may be damaged.
Avoid PCB flexing by using the support pin on the back side of the PCB.
Place equipment with the support pin as close to the test-probe as possible.
Prevent shock vibrations of the board when the test-probe contacts a PCB.
Test Pin
Test Pin Test Pin
The stress as shown may cause cracks in MLCC when cutting the board.
Cracked MLCC may cause degradation to the insulation resistance, thereby causing short circuit.
[Bending] [Twisting]
The high density board is separated into many individual boards after the completion of soldering. If the board is bent or
deformed during separation, MLCC may be cracked. Carefully select a separation method that minimizes the deformation of
the PCB.
Caution/Notice
10 Assembly Handling
I. Cautions for PCB handling
Hold the edges of the board mounted with MLCC with both hands since holding with one hand may bend the board. Do not
use dropped boards, which may degrade the quality of MLCC.
Ⅱ.
Mounting other components
Pay attention to the following conditions when mounting other components on the back side of The board after MLCC
has been mounted on the front side. When the suction nozzle is placed too close to the board, board deflection stress may
be applied to MLCC on the back side, resulting in cracks in MLCC. Check if proper value is set on each chip mounter for a
suction location, a mounting gap and a suction gap by the thickness of components.
Nozzle
Force
Ⅲ.
Board mounting components with leads
If the board is bent when inserting components (transformer, IC, etc.) into it, MLCC or solder joint may be cracked.
Reduce the stress on the board during insertion by increasing the size of the lead insertion hole.
Insert components with leads into the board after fixing the board with support pins or a dedicated jig.
Support the bottom side of the board to avoid bending the board.
Check the status of the height of each support pin regularly when the support pins are used.
Caution/Notice
Ⅳ.
Socket and / or connector attach / detach
Since the insertion or removal from sockets and connectors may cause the board to bent, make sure that MLCC mounted on
the board should not be damaged in this process.
Force
Ⅴ.
Fastening screw
When attaching a shield on a board, the board may be bent during a screw tightening work.
Since the board may be bent by soldering, use caution in tightening the screw.
11 Adhesive selection
Pay attention to the following if an adhesive is used to position MLCC on the board before soldering.
They must have enough adhesive strength to prevent MLCC from slipping or moving during the handling the board.
They must maintain their adhesive strength when exposed to soldering temperatures.
They should be an insulator type that does not affect the characteristic of MLCC.
They should be non-toxic, not harmful, and particularly safe when workers touch the adhesives.
Caution/Notice
Ⅱ.
Caution before Applying Adhesive
Check the correct application conditions before attaching MLCC to the board with an adhesive. If the dimension of land,
the type of adhesives, the amount of coating, the contact surface areas, the curing temperature, or other conditions are not
appropriate, it may degrade the MLCC performance.
Ⅲ.
Cautions for selecting Adhesive
Depending on the type of the chosen adhesive, MLCC insulation resistance may be degraded. In addition, MLCC may be
cracked by the difference in contractile stress caused by the different contraction rate between MLCC and the adhesive.
Ⅳ.
Cautions for the amount of applied adhesive and curing temperature
The inappropriate amount of the adhesive cause the weak adhesive strength, resulting in the mounting defect in MLCC.
Excessive use of the adhesive may cause a soldering defect, loss of electrical connection, incorrect curing, or slippage of a
mounting position, thereby an inflow of the adhesive onto the land section should be avoided.
If the curing temperature is too high or the curing time is too long, the adhesive strength will be degraded. In addition,
oxidation both on the outer termination (Sn) of MLCC and the surface of the board may deteriorate the solderability.
12 Flux
I. The excessive amount of flux generates excessive flux gases which may deteriorate solderability. Therefore, apply the flux thin
and evenly as a whole.
Ⅱ. Flux with a high ratio of halogen may oxidize the outer termination of MLCC, if cleaning is not done properly. Therefore, use
flux with a halogen content of 0.1% max.
Ⅲ. S
trong acidic flux can degrade the MLCC performance.
Ⅳ. C
heck the solder quality of MLCC and the amount of remaining flux surrounding MLCC after the mounting process.
13 Coating
I. C
rack caused by Coating
A crack may be caused in the MLCC due to amount of the resin and stress of thermal contraction of the resin during coating
process. During the coating process, the amount of resin and the stress of thermal contraction of the resin may cause cracks
in MLCC. The difference of thermal expansion coefficient between the coating, or a molding resin may cause destruction,
deterioration of insulation resistance or dielectric breakdown of MLCC such as cracks or detachment, etc.
Ⅱ.
Recommended Coating material
The insulation resistance of MLCC can be deteriorated if a high hygroscopic property resin is used in a high humidity
condition.
Do not use strong acid substances due to the fact that coating materials inducing a family of halogen substances and
organic acid may corrode MLCC.
Caution/Notice
Design
1 Circuit design
When the board is dropped or bent, MLCC mounted on the board may be short-circuited by the drop in insulation resistance.
Therefore, it is required to install safety equipment such as a fuse to prevent additional accidents when MLCC is short-circuited,
otherwise, electric short and fire may occur. This product is not a safety guaranteed product.
2 PCB Design
I. Unlike lead type components, SMD type components that are designed to be mounted directly on the board are fragile to the
stress. In addition, they are more sensitive to mechanical and thermal stress than lead type components.
A great difference of the thermal expansion coefficient between PCB and MLCC causes thermal expansion and contraction,
resulting in cracks in MLCC. Even though MLCC is mounted on a board with a fluorine resin or on a single-layered glass epoxy,
cracks in MLCC may occur.
Ⅱ. Please
note that the capacitance may differ based on the operating condition of the actual system since Class 2 MLCC
capacitance varies with applied voltage and temperature.
Ⅲ. Surge
resistance must be evaluated since the excessive surge caused by the inductance of the actual system may apply to
MLCC.
4 Land dimension
The recommended land dimension is determined by evaluating the actual SET and a board.

Even taping and packaging materials are designed to endure a long-term storage, they should be stored with a temperature
of 0~40°C and an RH of 0~70% otherwise, too high temperatures or humidity may deteriorate the quality of the product
rapidly.
As oxidization is accelerated when relative humidity is above 70%RH, the lower the humidity is, the better the solderability
is. As the temperature difference may cause dew condensation during the storage of the product, it is a must to maintain a
temperature control environment
Ⅱ. Shelf Life
An allowable storage period should be within 6 months from the outgoing date of delivery in consideration of solderability.
As for products in storage over 6 months, please check solderability before use.
3 Equipment in operation
