FPC06913 - Knowles

FPC06913 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for FPC06913?
  The recommended land pattern for FPC06913 is a rectangular pad with a size of 0.5mm x 0.5mm, with a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) pad shape. The pad should be centered on the capacitor's termination to ensure proper soldering.
• How do I handle the capacitor's sensitivity to moisture?
  To handle the capacitor's sensitivity to moisture, it is recommended to store the components in a dry environment (less than 30% relative humidity) and to follow the recommended reflow soldering profile to minimize exposure to moisture during assembly. Additionally, baking the components before assembly can help to remove any absorbed moisture.
• What is the maximum voltage derating for FPC06913?
  The maximum voltage derating for FPC06913 is 80% of the rated voltage. This means that if the capacitor is rated for 50V, the maximum operating voltage should be limited to 40V to ensure reliable operation and prevent premature failure.
• Can I use FPC06913 in high-frequency applications?
  Yes, FPC06913 is suitable for high-frequency applications up to 1GHz. However, it is recommended to consult the impedance vs. frequency curve in the datasheet to ensure that the capacitor's impedance meets the requirements of the specific application.
• How do I ensure the capacitor's reliability in high-temperature environments?
  To ensure the capacitor's reliability in high-temperature environments, it is recommended to follow the recommended operating temperature range (-55°C to +125°C) and to avoid exposing the component to temperatures above the rated maximum. Additionally, it is recommended to use a thermal interface material (TIM) to improve heat dissipation and reduce thermal stress on the capacitor.
