Good deal on (0805 package) X7R capacitors

CAPACITOR; CERAMIC; CAP 22UF; TOL+-20%; SMD; X7R; FLEXIBLE TERMINATION; VOL-RTG 16V $0.16 (Each)

Unless I am missing something, it has the best of ALL THREE characteristics...

Price, Capacitance and Voltage in an 0805 package. Not sure about the flexible termination, although that sounds like a bonus too!

Capacitance : 22 μF
Case Size : 0805
Dielectric Characteristic : X7R
Material, Element : Ceramic
Special Features : Flexible Terminations
Termination : SMT
Tolerance : ±20 %
Voltage, Rating : 16 VDC

Temperature Characteristic: Designated by capacitance change over temperature range — X7R: ±15%; –55°C to +125°C.

Significantly Reduces Catastrophic and Potentially Costly Failure Due to Board Flex
Greatly Reduces the Likelyhood of a Low-IR or Short-Circuit Condition in a Board Flex Situation
Channels Flex Stress to the End Terminations (Flexible Termination)
Allows for Up to 5 mm of Board Flex Capability (Flexible Termination)

Came expecting large, dangerous capacitors. Left disappointed. :yabbem:

Good find though. :beer:

My bad, I should edit the title... :eg:

It's about half the normal price for caps like that. Usually you'd need to buy a few thousand to get a price break in that range.

I just grabbed 100. way cheaper than digikey @ .80c each and they only have the x5r's.

From what I understand, flexible termination basically means the capacitor can "flex" a bit due to the board on which it is soldered, flexing. It won't fail if the board flexes to whatever degree the datasheet says for the capacitor.
