HIGH-REL EMI FILTERS
Noise is the enemy of good engineering design. Properly
installed EMI filters suppress such electromagnetic interfer-
ence on power and signal lines, while allowing desired sig-
nals to pass. For critical EMI filter applications, high reliability
is of the utmost importance.
High reliability applications have diverse requirements, rang-
ing from a need for a long operating life in medical or military
systems to avoiding the prohibitive cost of replacing a faulty
component in a satellite, undersea cable, or other inaccessi-
ble system. High-Rel filters satisfy application-critical require-
ments in many environments:
• Space/Satellite Systems • Radar Systems
• Military Aircraft
• Electro Optical Systems
• Guidance Systems
• Electronic Countermeasures
• Command, Control &
• Electronic Warfare
3
• Pacemakers
Communications (C )
• Missile Systems
• Medication Monitors
• Weapon Systems
mechanical configurations, test methods, screening and
qualification procedures.
AVX Filters delivers high quality EMI filters which meet appli-
cable portions of these high-reliability standards:
• MIL-F-15733
• MIL-F-28861
• MIL-I-45208A
• MIL-STD-202
• MIL-STD-220 • MIL-Q-9858
• NASA NHB 5300 • MIL-STD-790 • MIL-PRF-123
• ISO 9000
• MIL-STD-1547 • EIA-RS-469
AVX FILTERS AT THE LEADING EDGE
AVX Filters Corporation continues to provide innovative solu-
tions to the high performance needs of its customers. It has
pioneered many breakthroughs which have advanced the
state-of-the-art in this demanding discipline, including:
• The first to qualify to the new High-Reliability Filter Spec,
MIL-F-28861.
• Facility qualified to MIL-STD-790 during first round of
audits for filter manufacturers.
• The first solder-in filter line to offer 400°C installation tem-
perature.
• The first filter line designed to meet the new MIL-Spec
requirements for hear rise/reactive current in 125 VAC and
230 VAC 400 Hz applications.
• The first to offer a filter line of hermetically sealed bolt style
filters.
• The first manufacturer of medical implantable filters.
HIGH-REL STANDARDS
Reliability must be designed into an EMI filter. Every step
in its manufacture from material selection through testing
and characterization must be considered. To assure confor-
mance to clearly define product and performance parameters,
specifications have evolved for electrical performance,
99
Military EMI/RFI Filters
CUSTOM AND SEMI-CUSTOM
In addition to standard catalog and QPL EMI filters, AVX
Filters produces two classes of these special products:
Semi-custom and Custom. Semi-custom involves variations
in electrical parameters, testing, and limited mechanical
changes from standard product designs. Delivery is slightly
longer and price is slightly higher than standard products.
Custom products require longer lead time for design and
manufacturing, but give designers freedom to specify non-
standard mechanical and electrical filter designs.
AVX filters dedicates a unique internal part number to every
semi-custom and custom component. This insures contin-
ued configuration control for each part, allows future
changes to be easily implemented, and provides assurance
that the design always matches the customer requirements.
An example of a baseline is the MIL-PRF-28861 baseline
that is defined for the space level components. With this
baseline in place, all the mechanisms are defined to support
Class S filter production and quality assurance. AVX Filters is
qualified as a Class S facility. Changes to the baseline are
monitored and approved by DESC, NASA and Aerospace
Corporation. Custom baselines can also be developed to
fulfill specific customer requirements.
MIL-STD-790 –
This standard sets up a full reliability assur-
ance program plan with full traceability to raw materials,
manufacturing processes, assembly, and tests. At AVX
Filters there is full traceability down to the raw materials such
as plating elements, base metals, ceramic materials, and
inks, in accordance with MIL-STD-790. Other programs in
this standard include failure analysis, documentation control
and operator training requirements. MIL-PRF-28861 relies
on this standard to define the reliability assurance program
for the Class S filters.
QPL –
EMI filters which fully meet MIL standards are placed
on a Qualified Products List (QPL) by a specifying agency
such as DESC. The MIL-qualified filters can then be ordered
directly by QPL part number. This is indicated by the
MIL-PRF-28861 and MIL-PRF-15733 QPL sections of
the catalog.

767-6770.
Reliability Quality Assurance
A key factor in insuring quality components, and high relia-
bility performance, is the implementation of appropriate tests
and inspections during the manufacturing process.
There are a number of defined standards that specify the
design parameters, tests and test setups, materials used,
and the quality assurance provisions required. Vendor parts
that are qualified to the standards are put on QPL lists for
that standard.
Design and component engineers can order these standard
QPL filters with their attendant specifications. Other parame-
ters can be added to meet specific needs or define a full
quality assurance program.
MIL-PRF-15733
– This is an older standard developed
for specifying EMI/RFI filters. It defines specific electrical
and mechanical requirements, as well as stress tests and
inspections. MIL-PRF-15733 does not require full 100%
testing of each component, but relies upon sample testing
for each lot.
It also defines quality assurance inspections, and specifies a
quality assurance reporting mechanism with yearly reports
required on overall quality assurance performance. It
makes use of standards such as MIL-STD-202 to define
test methods.
MIL-PRF-28861
– This is a modern standard, defining
stringent classes of quality. The higher level. Class S, is for
critical space type applications where failure may have cata-
strophic results. Detailed Group A screening and Group B
environmental and qualification tests are fully described.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Quality assurance is built into every stage of manufacturing
and testing. AVX Filters controls the entire process, from the
capacitor’s dielectric formulation through final filter test. This
results in absolute traceability by lot number to a specific
dielectric batch, as well as the subsequent materials, equip-
ment and employees involved in the tightly-controlled manu-
facturing and testing process. In addition, critical processes
are monitored using SQC, SPC techniques.
HIGH-RELIABILITY
FILTER DESIGN GUIDE
To produce a high-rel filter, the manufacturing processes,
the procedures, and the materials used must be kept under
tight control. By monitoring and tagging these on a lot and
order basis, any product failures or performance abnormali-
ties can be traced. At AVX Filters, such information is kept on
file for later traceability and analysis.
Baseline –
A baseline is a system of documentation that is
used to guarantee manufacturing consistency, control
change, and establish reporting structure. It sets up the
mechanisms to define manufacturing, materials and compo-
nents selection and qualification, as well as inspections and
tests. It can also define mechanisms for direct comparisons
to test the difference between lots and orders.

Military EMI/RFI Filters
MIL-PRF-28861 is approved for use by all departments and
agencies of the Department of Defense. Like the earlier
15733, it defines filters for EMI applications. However, it goes
into detailed requirements for a number of attributes such as
baseline control, capacitor dielectrics, filter inductors, case
and lead finishes, potting/impregnants, X-ray, DPA, SLAM
and soldering methods.
Quality conformance inspection (QCI), or “Group A” testing,
is performed on 100% of the filters for each production lot
with limits on the number of failures allowed. For Class S filters,
baseline documentation is required to track the major
process steps and inspection points in manufacturing and
quality assurance. This baseline also “locks” in the design
through configuration control. Changes to the product
design, or the process steps for defined areas, can only
be done with formal government approval. Class “S” devices
are qualified on a lot-by-lot basis, with Group A and B
screening and testing documented on each manufacturing
lot.
All AVX Filters internal design standards reflect these three
standards of performance and reliability. For detailed informa-
tion on these standards, see Filter Design Guide, M28861
Screening and R-Level Screening sections of catalog.
Group A, B Tests –
These tests or inspections are typically
defined by MIL-PRF-15733. The Group A screening test
sequence will include thermal shock, voltage conditioning,
and the measurement of basic electrical parameters for the
filter. It also defines visual and radiographic inspections.
All filters in a lot are 100% tested, when Group A per MIL-
PRF-28861 is performed. Sample inspection of a filter lot is
performed when Group A per MIL-PRF-15733 is specified.
Group A per MIL-PRF-28861 stipulates that up to 10% of
tested Class B filters can be defective, and are simply
removed from the lot. Failure rates in excess of 10% will
cause the entire lot to be rejected.
Class S filters are only allowed PDA rates ranging from 2 to
3% on individual tests. If the combined total failures exceed
10%, then the lot must be scrapped.
Group B screening defines environmental tests on samples
from the production lots. Some of these tests are destruc-
tive, including Destructive Physical Analysis (DPA). These
tests permit a percentage of failure for each sampling of
Class B Filters. No failures are permitted for Class S filters.
DPA –
Destructive Physical Analysis to RS-469 is a quality
assurance technique that involves taking lot samples
and cross-sectioning them for internal inspection. A filter is
sectioned and then polished for microscopic examination.
This is used to detect specific filter defects, such as flawed
interconnects, capacitor voids, improper margins, dielectric
separation (delamination), and improper dielectric grain
growth. For detailed information see DPA Criteria section.
