I was wondering if anyone knew an industry standard number for acceptable
defect rates for components.  I.e. an acceptable rate of 10% failure for
components that the supplier can quote so not to have their lot rejected.
It may be that this differs for different types of components (passives may
have a much lower rate of failure than say I.C.'s).  Any help is
appreciated.  I did hear Xilinx quote an industry standard AOQL (Acceptable
Outgoing Quality Level) of 25 ppm, but want to confirm if this is the same
as I am talking about.  Thanks for any help.
