The MD Series features up-screened components
and detailed specs to ease the selection process
CAZENOVIA, N.Y., Aug. 30,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Knowles Precision Devices,
a division of Knowles Corporation, recently introduced the MD
Series, a range of medical-grade capacitors for implantable
designs. The MD Series encompasses C0G, X7R and X5R monolithic
ceramic chips.
We wanted it to be easy for design teams to
identify medical-grade components and the screening they've
undergone.
"With clear, comprehensive specifications, the series is
designed to offer the broadest variety of medical-grade capacitors,
so engineers can have confidence in the compatibility and quality
of their selections" said Shiraz Vakharia, Director of Hi-Rel
Products.
Currently, there is no distinct specification for passive
devices in medical implantables. However, Knowles Precision Devices
has built a legacy in testing and screening military-grade
reliability specifications (MIL-SPECS) for defense and military
applications. We have adopted that same rigor for medical
applications, and the MD Series can be screened using two
long-standing MIL-SPECs: MIL-PRF-55681 (Group A) and MIL-PRF-123
(Group A).
"Our in-house engineers know how helpful it is to have
comprehensive specifications readily available. It saves a lot of
time in ordering and sourcing, which expedites the overall
production process," said Victor Lu,
applications engineer, Knowles Precision Devices. "We wanted it to
be easy for design teams to identify which components are
medical-grade and what screening they've undergone. Ultimately,
engineers should feel assured that these components will serve
their designs and meet their high-reliability requirements."
In addition to the MD Series distinction, the catalog indicates
chip size, dielectric, capacitance, tolerance, voltage VDWC,
termination, high-reliability testing, packing option(s), and
screening. Beyond Group A, all screening options are tailored for
selectable-combination testing. This reduces or eliminates the cost
associated with developing and maintaining device-specific
documentation packages and better preserves each component's
performance integrity through design and manufacturing.
Leveraging decades of industry knowledge and expertise, Knowles
Precision Devices has a proven heritage of designing
high-reliability capacitors for medical applications. To learn more
