AVX Corporation claims to be the first and currently the only company to provide space-grade X7R base metal electrode (BME) MLCCs, and its ML- and M-grade reliability has been approved by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) 's MIL-PRF-32535 specification.
Compared with the PME MLCC which has the global aerospace industry standard, it has a higher CV capability. Compared with the standard, 100V, 1812, MIL-PRF-123 and MIL-PRF, the company's MLCC has a 39-fold increase in capacitance -55681 MLCC. This enables a revolutionary reduction in board space, weight and component count, which translates directly into lower startup costs. It also meets stringent DLA requirements for high reliability performance in space applications.
The series also uses the company's patented FLEXITERM termination technology, which offers greater circuit board flexibility than standard terminations, providing effective thermal and mechanical stress protection during assembly and throughout the life of the component , And can safely and reliably use large size casing.
"Our innovative X7R BME MLCC received MIL-PRF-32535 approval from DLA, which highlights our strong support for the space electronics industry, expands our existing space heritage, and makes AVX the only capacitor manufacturer in the world to offer X7R BME technology has been recognized by NASA (S-311-P-838), European Space Agency (ESCC 3009/041) and now the Defense Logistics Agency (MIL-PRF-32535), "said Michael Conway, product marketing manager at AVX. Since the 1990s, AVX has been actively honing and improving its BME MLCC technology, and now offers a series of tested, high reliability, high CV solutions. Our MIL-PRF-32535 X7R BME MLCC has a high-capacitance package that significantly saves PCB space and weight, which is especially important in the aerospace industry. E.g,
