High Reliability Testing Capability

As a matter of course, AVX maintains a level of quality control that is sufficient to guarantee whatever reliability specifications are needed.

However, AVX goes further and in addition to testing the components to the defined high reliability standards, AVX also has the capability to perform a wide range of custom-specific testing. The abbreviated list indicates the breadth and thoroughness of available quality control services at AVX.

A Little about DMTL and AVX

DMTL is a fully franchised, authorised distributor for AVX and has enjoyed an extremely close and successful relationship with AVX for over 30 years.

Commencing as a direct customer in 1988, DMTL was then appointed as AVX UK Design Distributor in 1996.

Of note is the fact that for the last 5 years, DMTL has continued, by some margin, to be AVX’s Top Design Distributor for the UK, by value, each year.. This being a clear indicator of the strength of AVX’s technical support, in their partnership with DMTL
