Description :
Are military ceramics made with Base Metal Electrodes (BME)?
Answer :
Military ceramics, both leaded and MLCC, are currently made only with PME (precious metal electrodes), rather than BME. This is not due to an issue with quality or reliability – instead, it is due to the fact that BME is a newer technology, which must be military qualified before it can be JAN branded. Indeed, BME parts have demonstrated excellent reliability and robustness in the commercial world, where they are used in many severe environments – including automotive.
