Heraeus Electronics Whitepaper: Advancements in Flexible End Terminations for High-Reliability Passive Components in Electrified Vehicles

In our technical whitepaper we dive into innovative flexible end termination technology for high-reliability passive components such as MLCCs in Electric Vehicles.

Electrification is transforming the automotive industry, creating an urgent need for high-reliability passive components such as multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). Electric vehicles (EVs) require nearly 10x more MLCCs than ICE vehicles, making durability, cost efficiency, and simplified processing essential.

Our latest research paper introduces a groundbreaking flexible end termination ink, ET2010 —a next-generation solution engineered to surpass the limitations of conventional epoxy systems. This innovative material delivers superior flexural strength, room-temperature stability, and electrical performance, while reducing silver content for improved sustainability and cost control. ET2010 sets a new standard for surface-mount passive components in demanding EV applications, supporting the future of automotive electrification.
