Panasonic's original in-house patterned metalization process

Our patterned metallization technology achieves a very stable capacitance level over the capacitor’s lifetime and therefore guarantees high reliability in the application.

The patterns serve as a fuse mechanism function that prevents catastrophic, short-circuit failure modes.

Furthermore, a long life time is realized by the use of materials that protects against high temperatures and moisture ingress.
