New C0G VW80808 MLCC from YAGEO Group: advanced reliability for critical automotive applications

The evolution of automotive systems requires increasingly robust, stable, and reliable electronic components capable of operating under demanding conditions. To support these requirements, YAGEO Group introduces the new C0G VW80808 MLCCs, multilayer ceramic capacitors designed with flexible termination technology, high reliability, and automotive-grade qualification for critical applications.

Developed for both under-hood and in-cabin automotive use, these components deliver strong electrical and mechanical performance in harsh environments. Compliance with AEC-Q200 and VW80808 specifications provides confidence that the capacitors meet stringent automotive qualification, durability, and reliability standards.

Flexible termination for enhanced crack resistance

One of the key advantages of the VW80808 FT CAP series is its flexible termination construction. This technology helps limit the transfer of mechanical stress from the printed circuit board to the rigid ceramic body of the capacitor.

As a result, it significantly reduces the risk of flex cracks, which can occur during board bending and may lead to low insulation resistance or short-circuit failures. Compared to standard terminations, flexible termination technology provides substantially improved flex performance, supporting up to 5 mm of board flex without capacitance shift.

This feature is especially important in automotive applications exposed to vibration, thermal cycling, handling stress, and mechanical strain during assembly or operation.

C0G stability for high-precision performance

In addition to mechanical robustness, the C0G VW80808 MLCCs offer the inherent stability of C0G dielectric, which provides negligible capacitance change over time and voltage.

The series delivers tight temperature stability of ±30 ppm/°C and operates across a wide temperature range from −55°C to +125°C. This makes the components ideal for circuits where accuracy, predictability, and long-term reliability are essential.
