AEC-Q200-compliant product lineup
What is the AEC-Q200?
AEC is an abbreviation for Automotive Electronics Council, an industry organization created by major automobile and electronic component manufacturers. The council was created to standardize reliability and accreditation criteria for automotive electronic components. The AEC-Qxxx standards have been broadly adopted.
AEC-Q200 passive components (capacitors, inductors, etc.) features
Establishes standards for high reliability, including high-temperature/high-humidity resistance, thermal shock resistance and durability.
