TAIYO YUDEN has established a high reliability category of a few hundred capacitors, including multilayer ceramic capacitors, to meet the pressing demands of the automotive electronic components, industrial equipment, and medical equipment industries. For greater control and flexibility, TAIYO YUDEN combines their own superior raw materials and advanced technologies to produce this wide range of capacitors.

The need for high reliability electronic components and combined modules has been increasing. With the advent of wireless communication functions and GPS (including telematics), proximity sensors and vehicle-mounted cameras, the automobile market has experienced a rapid increase in the number of electronic components and multi-functionalism. Growth in demand continues for these components for medical equipment, communication infrastructure such as base station communication equipment, and industrial equipment, including factory automation equipment and industrial robots.

TAIYO YUDEN has conducted stringent evaluation tests corresponding to AEC-Q200, a reliability-testing standard, for automotive electronic parts that are being added to their product offering. In particular, their multilayer ceramic capacitors have been successfully consolidated in their line-up. These high-reliability products meet the severe demand characteristics and reliability requirements dictated by the automotive electronics market.

Technology Background:

The automotive electronics market has grown extensively, not only in developed countries but also in emerging countries. In order to pursue “safety, peace of mind, and comfort,” new functions, such as telematics, proximity sensors (that measure the distance between vehicles), and vehicle-mounted cameras (that can easily ascertain the situation in the immediate vicinity), are being installed in automobiles on a worldwide basis. Eco-cars, such as electric automobiles and hybrid cars, are growing in market share and contributing further to multi-functionality and advancement in technology for automobiles and to a sharp increase in the number of electronic components needed in the market. As a result, with the increase in the number of ECUs mounted for control of each function, many electronic components have been installed with highly efficient power circuits in order to improve energy-saving performance.

The requirements of the electronic components installed in automobiles and industrial equipment include high reliability characterized by high temperature operation, long life, and high quality. TAIYO YUDEN’s super high-end products, which have taken full advantage of the advanced technical capabilities of TAIYO YUDEN, have cultivated a strong reputation in the consumer product market for being reliable. TAIYO YUDEN meets the demand of the automotive market through providing the cutting edge technology that results in high quality, high reliability end products.

In addition, with regard to complex devices, TAIYO YUDEN is actively proposing wireless communication modules and power supply modules suitable for the high reliability market through various means, including installation of highly reliable electronic components made by TAIYO YUDEN.    

TAIYO YUDEN intends to continue to sequentially expand its line-up of products in the high reliability category to respond to the needs of the market.

Applications:

Aimed at markets demanding high reliability, such as automotive electronics, like the infotainment system and body, comfort, etc., and also medical equipment, communication infrastructure equipment such as base station communication equipment, and industrial equipment used for factory automation equipment and industrial robots.
