Design

Multilayer technology

Lack of plastic or epoxy encapsulation for

flammability rating better than UL 94 V-0

Termination (see “Soldering directions"):

CT types with nickel barrier terminations (AgNiSn),

recommended for lead-free soldering, and

compatible with tin/lead solder.

CN types with silver-palladium terminations

(AgPd) only suitable for reflow and wave soldering

with solder on tin/lead basis.

V/I characteristics and derating curves

V/I and derating curves are attached to the data sheet.

The curves are sorted by VRMS and then by case size,

which is included in the type designation.

Single chip
