FLEXISAFE MLC Chips
For Ultra Safety Critical Applications
AVX have developed a range of components specifically for safety
critical applications.
Utilizing the award-winning FLEXITERM™ layer in conjunction with
the cascade design previously used for high voltage MLCCs, a
range of ceramic capacitors is now available for customers who
require components designed with an industry leading set of
safety features.
The FLEXITERM™ layer protects the component from any
damage to the ceramic resulting from mechanical stress during
PCB assembly or use with end customers. Board flexure type
mechanical damage accounts for the majority of MLCC failures.
The addition of the cascade structure protects the component
from low insulation resistance failure resulting from other common
causes for failure; thermal stress damage, repetitive strike ESD
damage and placement damage. With the inclusion of the
cascade design structure to complement the FLEXITERM™ layer,
the FLEXISAFE range of capacitors has unbeatable safety
features.
