Do HVC products meet automotive-grade (AEC-Q200) requirements?

HVC Capacitor currently focuses its manufacturing expertise on industrial, medical, and power electronics markets rather than automotive AEC-Q200 qualified production. However, many HVC products demonstrate equivalent or superior performance characteristics compared to AEC-Q200 baseline specifications:

AEC-Q200 Parameter

Standard Requirement

HVC Typical Performance

|--------------------|---------------------|------------------------|

Temperature Range	-40°C ~ +150°C	-55°C ~ +125°C (broader low-temp)
Thermal Shock	-40°C ~ +125°C, 1000 cycles	Passes 1000+ cycles (validated)
Vibration	10g, 10-2000Hz, 12hrs/axis	15g, 10-2000Hz, 24hrs/axis
Mechanical Shock	1500g, 0.5ms half-sine	2000g, 0.5ms
Moisture Resistance	85°C/85%RH, 1000hrs	85°C/85%RH, 2000hrs

For non-critical automotive subsystems (EV charging stations, onboard chargers, auxiliary power modules) where full AEC-Q200 certification is not contractually mandated, HVC components have been successfully deployed by Tier-2 suppliers with customer-specific validation protocols.

Note: For safety-critical automotive applications (ADAS, battery management), HVC recommends consulting with application engineering to assess specific use-case suitability before deployment.
