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
of using AVX 3000 temperature cycles (up to +150°C bend
test guaranteed greater than 5mm).
• FLEXITERM
®
provides improved performance compared to
standard termination systems.
• Board bend test improvement by a factor of 2 to 4 times.
• Temperature Cycling:
– 0% Failure up to 3000 cycles
– No ESR change up to 3000 cycles
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.
