In addition to the Automotive, MIL-PRF and Space grade series, these are the Kemet proposal to address High Reliability Applications:
CERAMICS COTS:
Features:
-
- Higher Reliability Applications
- High CVs (close to Commercial and Automotive)
- Much lower volumes than Commercial and Automotive
- Slightly Lower Cost vs Military Grade
Qualification – By manufacturer. KEMET’s COTS based on AEC-Q200
Base Testing Protocol + Additions (Testing levels A, B or C):
-
- 100% Visual Inspection
- Burn-in, Voltage conditioning with PDA
- Electricals with PDA
- Destructive Physical Analysis (DPA)
- Humidity Testing
- Customizable with drawing
Applications: higher reliability applications
CERAMIC HRA SERIES (under development)
Features:
-
- Conservative offering vs COTS and Auto Grade
- Higher CVs not available in MIL-PRF
- Auto Grade designs
- Customizable using SCD/C-SPEC
Qualification and Testing – Internal: References Automotive AEC-Q200 and MIL-PRF-32535 TM
Additional:
-
- Group A and B per MIL-PRF-32535
- Periodic inspection for electrical, environmental, and mechanical
- Test Summaries and CoC
- Complete material traceability to raw materials
Applications: Short duration or limited life i.e. satellites (<5 Years), Launch Vehicles, Avionics, ground systems.
TANTALUM POLYMER HRA SERIES T540/T541
Features:
-
- Conservative Military Design (anode design more robust than automotive)
- Military Screening Options
- MIL-PRF-55365 “like” Qualification
- 100% Burn-In
- Established Reliability (B, C and D level)
- Certificate of Compliance
- With failure rates/surge current options and DLA drawings 04051/04052
TANTALUM POLYMER UP-SCREEN COMMERCIAL SERIES T543
Allowing surge current options:
TANTALUM POLYMER PHS SERIES T550/T555
Features:
-
- DLA drawing 13030 option (product levels B and T)
- 100% simulated breakdown screening
- 100% constant voltage conditioning (240 hours)
- 100% surge current tested options
- T550 case dimensions equivalent to MIL-PRF-39006/22, MIL-PRF-39006/25, MIL-PRF-39006/30, MIL-PRF-39006/31
Lead the Technical Content Maintenance Team of doEEEt platform. at Alter Technology
Manuel Padial has a Degree in Industrial Electronic. Engineering and a Master (M.Eng.)/Advanced Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Since 2000 in Alter Technology, as EEE Parts Engineer, first in the Engineering and Materials Management Department, has given technical support to customers in many different space programmes. And later on, as Coordinator of the Parts Engineering and Purchasing Department, has been in charge of guarantee the proper EEE Parts selection/definition/testing to ensure the technical/schedule/budget compliance to projects requirements. Currently and since 2017 is leading the Technical Content Maintenance Team of doEEEt platform.
With the continuous maintenance of the platform technical content, doEEEt provides to the space community the most updated and complete information about Hi-Rel EEE components, related documentation, and reports, as well as any associated procurement and testing activities.
