MM Series – MLCC for Medical Applications
General Specifications
The AVX MM series is a multi-layer ceramic capacitor designed for
use in medical applications other than implantable/life support.
These components have the design & change control expected for
medical devices and also offer enhanced LAT including reliability
testing and 100% inspection.
APPLICATIONS
Implantable, Non-Life Supporting Medical Devices
• e.g. implanted temporary cardiac monitor, insulin pumps
External, Life Supporting Medical Devices
• e.g. heart pump external controller
External Devices
• e.g. patient monitoring, diagnostic equipment
