APS capacitors have a wider capacitance range than MIL spec parts that satisfies the need for higher CV demands and board space saving requirements. Each production lot is extensively tested and removes the requirement for customer specific drawings. The testing regime uses many of the MIL-STD test methods, as per MIL-PRF-55681, and has a field failure rate of less than 1 ppb. The APS testing series uses AVX’s unique in-house maverick testing detection system that eliminates infant mortality failures
