Murata’s water repellant MLCC capacitor for car infotainment systems

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has introduced the GXT series of water repellent capacitors for automobile infotainment systems and comfort equipment. Designed with a water repellent layer on a multilayer ceramic capacitor, the product conforms to the AEC-Q200*1 electrical parts standard for automotive applications. This product is now in mass production.
Background
In conjunction with advances in size reduction and surface mount increased density in electronic equipment, there remains a possibility of generating a fault in circuit operation due to ion migration*2 in components by condensation in environments exposed to severe heat and humidity changes. For that reason, Murata has applied a water repellent layer to the surface of a multilayer ceramic capacitor that conforms to the AEC-Q200 automotive electronic components standards and thereby introduced a water repellent capacitor that can mitigate ion migration due to condensation.
Regarding water repellent capacitors, the company has offered the GXM series for general electronic equipment and the GGM series for automotive powertrain and safety applications, and is now adding the GXT series for automotive infotainment systems and comfort equipment.

Features
The structure of a water repellent capacitor is illustrated in Fig. 1. A water repellent layer has been applied to the surface of the capacitor. This water repellent condition of the capacitor maintains water droplets in a scattered state (Fig. 2), hindering growth of the condensed water drops that can connect the outside electrodes, and it thereby reduces the occurrence of ion migration. In addition, the water repellent film on the surface of the capacitor suppresses the elution of outside electrode metal to a water drop (ionization). In a wettability test using a water-soluble black marker (Fig. 4), the water repellent condition of a processed component is clearly superior to that of a component without the Murata Water repellent Layer. (Note: The goal of this Murata component is reduction of ion migration, not complete prevention of the effect.)
