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.
