Soft Term - No Defects up to 3000 cycles

AEC-Q200 specification states

1000 cycles compared to AVX

3000 temperature cycles.

• 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 cycle

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
