QUALITY & RELIABILITY
MLO
TM
capacitors utilize high density interconnect wiring
technology on well established low loss organic materials.
FINAL QUALITY INSPECTION
Finished parts are tested for standard electrical parameters
and visual/mechanical characteristics. Each production lot
is 100% evaluated for: capacitance and proof voltage at
2.5 U
R
. In addition, production is periodically evaluated for:
• Average capacitance with histogram printout for
capacitance distribution;
• IR and Breakdown Voltage distribution;
• Temperature Coefficient;
• Solderability;
• Dimensional, mechanical and temperature stability.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
The reliability of these multilayer organic capacitors has
been extensively studied. Various methods and standards
have been used to ensure a high quality component
including JEDEC, Mil Spec and IPC testing. AVX’s quality
assurance policy is based on well established international
industry standards. The reliability of the capacitors is
determined by accelerated testing under the following
conditions:
