KYOCERA AVX is Showcasing High-Reliability Passive Component Technologies at CMSE 2026

KYOCERA AVX is delivering two presentations about advanced capacitor technologies and showcasing a variety of high-reliability passive components engineered to optimize size, weight, and power in demanding military and aerospace applications and backed by 30+ years of R&D experience and field-proven performance.

FOUNTAIN INN, S.C., April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KYOCERA AVX, a leading global manufacturer of advanced electronic components engineered to accelerate technological innovation and build a better future, is presenting and exhibiting at the 29^th annual Components for Military & Space Electronics (CMSE) Conference & Exhibition, which is taking place in Los Angeles this week, April 28–30.

CMSE is widely recognized as the premier annual event dedicated to the design, reliability, and application of electronic components engineered for use in terrestrial avionics, aerospace, and military systems and commercial, civilian, and military space systems. It welcomes influential members of the global military and space component supply chain, along with academics and students, and features three full days of timely, insightful technical talks, keynotes, panel discussions, and trainings aimed at fostering audience engagement and furthering attendees' collective understanding of the technical challenges the industry faces.

On Wednesday, April 29, KYOCERA AVX Product Manager Tyler Lagnese will present "MLCC Product Grades Explained: From Commercial to Space Applications," which defines the clear differences between Consumer, Automotive, COTS+, and Hi-Rel product grades to help military and aerospace engineers make better-informed decisions about justifying component use in uncertified applications as they continue to push the boundaries of modern technology against an ever-increasing cost pressures.

On Thursday, April 30, Senior Fellow Ron Demcko will present "Low-Inductance Bulk Capacitors," which addresses the rapidly growing importance of this technology in advanced military and aerospace circuitry due to its ability to help deliver high-quality power loads with high di/dt demands and contribute to reduced system size, weight, and complexity. This presentation also introduces the concept of a low-inductance bulk capacitor (LIBC) based on non-ceramic material systems and shares electrical and environmental performance characteristics, comparisons to existing solutions, and end-circuit performance impacts.

Tyler, Ron, and Lead Technical Applications Engineer Daniel West will also showcase advanced passive components engineered to deliver high-reliability performance and size, weight, and power improvements in demanding military and aerospace applications at the KYOCERA AVX exhibit table, including:

• Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with COTS+, military, and space-grade performance levels — including the newly expanded series of MIL-PRF-32535 BME NP0 MLCCs, which are designed to reduce the gap between commercial and MIL-SPEC product ranges while meeting "M"  and "T" MIL-SPEC reliability levels and are listed on the Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA) Qualified Products Database (QPD). Learn more.
• Tantalum capacitors — spanning established-reliability COTS+ components that feature smaller, lower-ESR, multi-anode or multi-capacitor form factors and are available with space-level testing to parts qualified to MIL-PRF-55365.
• Polymer capacitors subjected to KYOCERA AVX's maverick part control with statistical screening and process control enhancement to ensure high performance in challenging environments.
• RF/Microwave capacitors built to satisfy stringent performance and durability requirements.
• Oven controlled crystal oscillators (OCXOs) featuring modern layout technologies and backed by more than 90 years of frequency control product R&D.
• Thin-film inductors that feature rugged, miniature form factors and exhibit industry-leading high-frequency stability, low ESR and high Q across a broad range of frequencies, extreme lot-to-lot consistency, and tight tolerances.
• EMI filters designed to suppress electromagnetic interference on power and signal lines.
• Resistors equipped with KYOCERA AVX's proprietary "glass sandwich" FLEXITERM^® technology, which adds an extra margin against damage resulting from flexure during installation.

"KYOCERA AVX produces an extensive range of industry-leading, high-reliability passive components that are expertly engineered for the world's most demanding applications, qualified to a variety of rigorous standards — ranging from COTS+ to ESCC, MIL, and DSCC drawings and our own proprietary SRC9000 space-grade qualification —  and backed by over 30 years of R&D experience and field-proven performance," said Ron Demcko, Senior Fellow at KYOCERA AVX. "We're thrilled to have the opportunity to share our knowledge with and learn from the esteemed attendees at CMSE 2026, and we're proud to support CMSE with our sponsorship."
