KYOCERA AVX has expanded its rigorously tested and field-proven series of MIL-PRF-32535 base metal electrode (BME) NP0 MLCCs, which are approved by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and listed in its Qualified Products Database (QPD). The update adds new case sizes and capacitance values, giving design engineers more options for high-reliability circuits.
Built on best-in-class BME technology backed by over 30 years of R&D, these MIL-PRF-32535 BME NP0 MLCCs are designed to meet tough aerospace and defense demands.
They offer higher-CV performance than standard surface-mount precious-metal-electrode (PME) MLCCs qualified to military and aerospace specs, narrowing the gap between commercial and MIL-SPEC products while still meeting “M” and “T” reliability levels.
Now available in compact, high-CV 0402-1210 case sizes from 68-47,000 pF (±1-10% tolerance) and rated for 4-100 V, these capacitors help aerospace and defense teams reduce component size, weight, and count and optimize PCB layouts.
They also feature KYOCERA AVX’s patented FLEXITERM® termination technology, which stands up better than standard surface-mount terminations to the thermomechanical stresses of assembly and operation.
MIL-PRF-32535 BME NP0 MLCCs are cleared for use in high-reliability aerospace and defense applications, including filtering, tuning, decoupling, timing, and blocking circuits in ground and air-based military systems, satellite launchers, and communication, Earth-observation, and science-exploration satellites.
They come in standard waffle packaging or on tape and reel. Lead times for M-level reliability parts are currently 18 weeks in the U.S. and Asia and 16 weeks in Europe; for T-level reliability parts, lead times are 25 weeks in the U.S. and Asia and 23 weeks in Europe.
To Know more on the expanded MIL-PRF-32535 BME NP0 MLCC series and the full portfolio of high-reliability KYOCERA AVX MLCCs for aerospace and defense, including the complementary MIL-PRF-32535 X7R BME MLCCs and DSCC 25007 miniature, high-CV X7R BME stacked MLCCs, visit the embedded links.
For non-flight designs, engineers can prototype and verify these components using the Engineering Module (EM) Range X7R BME MLCCs.
This series covers capacitors in the ESCC 3009041, NASA S311?P838, and MIL-PRF-32535 ranges and uses the same materials as the fully qualified parts, but without the final DLA and ESCC testing and screening or QPD/QPL listings greatly shortening lead times.

This series covers capacitors in the ESCC 3009041, NASA S311-P838, and MIL-PRF-32535 ranges and uses the same materials as the fully qualified part numbers – just without the final DLA and European Space Components Coordination (ESCC) testing and screening processes and QPD/QPL listings, which significantly shortens lead times.
Leadership Comments
“KYOCERA AVX is committed to providing aerospace and defense customers with best-in-class, tested and proven component solutions engineered to satisfy the rigorous demands of their high-reliability applications,” said Michael Conway, Senior Product & Marketing Manager – High-Reliability Components, KYOCERA AVX. “Adding new, higher-capacitance 1206 and 1210 MLCCs to our DLA-QPL-approved MIL-PRF-32535 BME NP0 MLCCs with FLEXITERM terminations helps satisfy their growing demand for smaller, lighter, more durable, and higher-CV military-qualified capacitors and enable innovative technologies, and we will continue to expand upon this and other related series to meet evolving market needs.”
