AVX is the First to Offer Space-Level X7R BME MLCCs Approved to MIL-PRF-32535
February 16 2018 - 9:30AM
AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer and supplier of advanced
electronic components and interconnect, sensor, control, and
antenna solutions, is the first — and currently only — company to
offer space-level, X7R base metal electrode (BME) MLCCs with “M”
and “T” reliability levels approved to the Defense Logistics
Agency’s (DLA’s) MIL-PRF-32535 specification. Exhibiting high CV
capabilities superior to those of precious metal electrode (PME)
MLCCs, which have long been the standard for the global aerospace
industry, AVX’s leading-edge, space-level, X7R BME MLCCs deliver a
39-fold increase in capacitance compared to standard, 100V, 1812,
MIL-PRF-123 and MIL-PRF-55681 MLCCs — enabling revolutionary board
space, weight, and component count reductions that directly
translate into lower launch costs — and meet extremely stringent
DLA requirements for high-reliability performance in space
applications. The series also features AVX’s patented FLEXITERM®
termination technology, which allows for more board flexure than
standard terminations, providing proven-effective protection
against thermal and mechanical stresses both during assembly and
throughout component lifetimes and enabling the safe, reliable
employment of large case sizes.
The series is tested to the DLA’s MIL-PRF-32535 specifications,
and is currently available in seven case sizes spanning 0402–2220
and rated for 16–100V and 2.2nF–22μF. Ideal applications for the
series include I/O filtering and bulk storage in the switch mode
power supplies (SMPS) within space and satellite communications and
launchers, military aircraft, and defense, weapons, and radar
systems.
“Achieving MIL-PRF-32535 approval from the DLA for our
innovative X7R BME MLCCs underscores our unwavering support for the
space electronics industry, expands upon our existing space
heritage, and makes AVX the only capacitor manufacturer — the whole
world over — to offer X7R BME technology approved by NASA
(S-311-P-838), the European Space Agency (ESCC 3009/041), and now
the Defense Logistics Agency (MIL-PRF-32535),” said Michael Conway,
product marketing manager at AVX. “AVX has been actively honing and
perfecting its BME MLCC technology since the 1990s and now offers
an array of tried-and-tested, high-reliability, high-CV solutions.
Our MIL-PRF-32535 X7R BME MLCCs feature high-capacitance packages
that deliver significant PCB space and weight savings, which are
especially critical in the space industry. For example, customers
can downsize from an existing CDR34/1812 case size to a
M3253504/0805 case size and still achieve a 100V, 56nF rating.”
The series ships with standard high-reliability lead-times, and
each production lot comes with the appropriate data package for M
and T reliability levels, with A and B subgroups as required.
