APS Series
APS for COTS+ Applications
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
As part of our continuing support to high reliability customers, AVX
has launched an Automotive Plus Series of parts (APS) qualified and manufactured
in accordance with automotive AEC-Q200 standard. Each production batch is
quality tested to an enhanced requirement and shipped with a certificate of confor-
mance. On a quarterly basis a reliability package is issued to all APS customers.
A detailed qualification package is available on request and contains results on a
range of part numbers including:
• X7R dielectric components containing BME electrode and copper terminations
with a Ni/Sn plated overcoat.
• X7R dielectric components BME electrode and soft terminations with a Ni/Sn
plated overcoat (FLEXITERM™).
• X7R for Hybrid applications.
• NP0 dielectric components containing Pd/Ag electrode and silver termination
with a Ni/Sn plated overcoat.
We are also able to support customers who require an AEC-Q200 grade compo-
nent finished with Tin/Lead.
