AEC-Q200 specification states
1000 cycles compared to AVX
3000 temperature cycles.
Soft Term - No Defects up to 3000 cycles
FLEXITERM® TEST SUMMARY
• Qualified to AEC-Q200 test/specification with the exception • Board bend test improvement by a factor of 2 to 4 times.
of using AVX 3000 temperature cycles (up to +150°C bend
• Temperature Cycling:
test guaranteed greater than 5mm).
– 0ꢀ Failure up to 3000 cycles
• FLEXITERM® provides improved performance compared to
– No ESR change up to 3000 cycles
standard termination systems.
WITHOUT SOFT TERMINATION
WITH SOFT TERMINATION
Major fear is of latent board flex failures.
Far superior mechanical performance.
Generally open failure mode beyond
5mm flexure.
