FLEXISAFE MLC Chips
General Specifications and Capacitance Range
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. Flexisafe capacitors are qualified in accordance
with AEC-Q200 standard. AEC-Q200 detailed qualification data is available on request
