KEMET is First Supplier to Offer Both Class-I and Class-II MLCCs Qualified to MIL-PRF-32535
June 18 2018 - 4:15PM
KEMET Corporation (NYSE:KEM), a leading global
supplier of electronic components, today announced that it is the
first and only supplier to offer both Class-I and Class-II base
metal electrode (BME) multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs)
qualified for defense and aerospace applications by the Defense
Logistics Agency (DLA). The DLA recently accepted KEMET's X7R
dielectric MIL-PRF-32535 for "M" and "T" reliability levels.
MIL-PRF-32535 is the first DLA capacitor specification for
defense and aerospace that capitalizes on industry-leading base
metal electrode (BME) technology. In December 2017, KEMET announced
DLA approval for C0G and BP Class-I dielectrics which are ideal for
critical timing, tuning, pulse, AC, and transient voltage
suppression applications where capacitance stability may be a
concern. With the recent DLA approval of KEMET’s X7R Class-II
dielectric, design engineers will now have access to ceramic
capacitors that offer up to a 55-fold increase in capacitance
values as compared to the offerings under traditional
specifications using precious metal electrodes (PME). These
capacitors are ideal for decoupling, bypass, filtering, and bulk
storage for military, avionics and space applications.
MIL-PRF-32535 is also the first DLA specification to recognize a
flexible termination option. KEMET's flexible termination utilizes
a pliable conductive silver epoxy in the termination system. The
addition of this epoxy layer inhibits the transfer of board stress
to the rigid ceramic body, therefore mitigating flex cracks that
can result in low insulation resistance or short circuit
failures.
“KEMET has been a leader in BME ceramic capacitor development
for over 20 years,” said Dr. Abhijit Gurav, KEMET Vice President of
Ceramic Technology. “These new Class-I and Class-II capacitor
ranges were qualified through the extremely stringent requirements
of the MIL-PRF-32535 specification, and still offer significantly
higher capacitance values than the MIL-PRF-123 and 55681
specifications. This enables more circuit functionality in defense
and space applications while allowing significant component
miniaturization and payload weight reduction.”
