AVX Releases New MM Series Medical Grade MLCCs
2016-11-09 | Return“Our new MM Series MLCCs provide medical device engineers with exceptional reliability and design flexibility at a competitive price point, eliminating both the inherent risks of using commercial capacitors in these devices and the expense of specifying fully qualified medical capacitors in applications that don’t demand them,” said Lizzie Geismar, product manager, AVX. “As an industry-leading developer and supplier of medical MLCCs, with a long history of providing advanced design, manufacturing, testing, and qualification services for the medical industry, we’re proud to offer our medical customers a new range of products that, through their excellent price/performance ratio, will enable the next-generation of electronic medical devices.”
Unlike commercial MLCCs, MM Series MLCCs for medical applications feature specific series part numbers to control product supply. With regard to design and dicing, MM Series MLCCs have a minimum ceramic thickness of 0.029” (vs. 0.020” for AVX X7R products), 0.004” minimum side and end margins (vs. 0.003”), and cover layers measuring a minimum of 0.003”. Additionally, many more MM Series parts are subjected to lot qualification destructive physical analysis (DPA) than are recommended by the EIA RS469 document, and all tested parts are held to significantly stricter criteria. The series also undergoes 100% inspection for visual and cosmetic quality (vs. standard process and inspection), and is not only subjected to increased sampling for accelerated wave solder on X7R and NP0 dielectrics (vs. standard sampling for X7R dielectrics), but also subjected to lot-by-lot reliability testing. Further, as required by medical design and change controls, AVX will qualify and notify customers before making any changes to the following MM Series materials or processes: dielectric, metal, and termination material formulation, type, or supplier; manufacturing equipment type; and quality testing regime, including sample size and accept/reject criteria, rather than simply informing them should the form, fit, or function of the devices change.
MM Series MLCCs may be purchased from Mouser or directly from AVX, and are shipped on 7” or 13” reels. Lead-time for the series is 12 weeks.
