Polyterm

Below is a list of technical and application notes relevant to Johanson Dielectrics Polyterm Capacitors.

Title	Purpose / Key Insight
Polyterm® Flexible SMD Termination	Addressing the Challenge – Standard MLCC terminations are prone to cracking from PCB flexure and handling stress, which can lead to latent defects or catastrophic short failures. Polyterm® adds a flexible termination layer that absorbs strain and protects the ceramic body. Proven Performance – Testing across multiple case sizes shows up to 188% greater flexure resistance compared to standard terminations, with no ceramic damage even under severe stress—significantly reducing MLCC failure risk in assembly and harsh environments.
