APS COTS+ for High Reliability Applications
Surface Mount NPO, X7R and X8R/L MLCCs
AVX’s APS COTS+ series of multilayer ceramic capacitors offers the customer a
high reliability solution with an ultralow failure rate, ≤1ppb, in a variety of case sizes
and voltages. The APS range encompasses a wide range of dielectric types to
meet the customer’s requirements from low temperature/voltage capacitance
change dielectric, NPO, to high preforming capacitance voltage X7R to high
temperature reliability dielectrics, X8R/L.
APS capacitors have a wider capacitance range than MIL spec parts that satisfies
the need for higher CV demands and board space saving requirements. Each
production lot is extensively tested and removes the requirement for customer
specific drawings. The testing regime uses many of the MIL-STD test methods as
per MIL-PRF-55681 and has a field failure rate of less than 1 ppb. The APS testing
series uses AVX’s unique in-house maverick testing detection system that
eliminates infant mortality failures.
Applications suitable for APS include Industrial, Telecommunications, Aviation, and
Military. The APS is available with a range of different termination finishes,
