Class B and Class S Processing Differences

Historically military applications have utilised ceramic packaged microcircuits assembled and screened to either Class Level B or Class Level S (Space Level) as defined by MIL-STD-883 Method 5004 with Quality Conformance Inspection performed in accordance with MIL-STD-883 Method 5005. If requirements for radiation hardened performance are ignored, the differences between Class B and Class S microcircuits are screening and lot acceptance.

Force Technologies produces Type Q microcircuits as non-conforming Class B only. The practice of “up screening” microcircuits from Class B to Class S is understood to be fully at the risk of the buyer.  Force Technologies will not be responsible for any component or system failure due to the misapplication of its products and may not warrant components subjected to Class S “up screening.”
