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.
