The F or J series ceramic Open Mode Capacitor in X7R dielectric are designed to minimize the probability of a low IR or short-circuit condition when forced to failure in a board stress flex situation. 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 within 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. Driven by the demand for a more robust and reliable component, the open mode capacitor was designed for critical applications where higher operating temperatures and mechanical stress are a concern. These capacitors are widely used in automotive circuits and general electronic applications.
