MLCC Medical Applications – MM Series
General Specifications
The AVX MM series is a multi-layer ceramic capacitor designed for use in medical applications other than
implantable/life support. These components have the design & change control expected for medical devices
and also offer enhanced LAT including reliability testing and 100% inspection.
APPLICATIONS
Implantable, Non-Life Supporting Medical Devices
• e.g. implanted temporary cardiac monitor, insulin pumps
External, Life Supporting Medical Devices
• e.g. heart pump external controller
External Devices
• e.g. patient monitoring, diagnostic equipment
