Frequently Asked Questions

What is AEC-Q200 qualification?

AEC-Q200 is the automotive qualification standard for passive components. It includes rigorous testing for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, vibration, humidity, and other stresses to ensure reliability in automotive environments.

What temperature range do I need for automotive?

Most automotive applications require Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C) or Grade 0 (-40°C to +150°C). Under-hood applications typically need Grade 0, while cabin electronics can use Grade 1. For more detailed information and application guidance, please consult the product datasheet or contact our technical support team.

Do you provide PPAP documentation?

Yes, XGHC provides complete PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) documentation including PSW, dimensional results, material certifications, performance test results, and process flow diagrams. For more detailed information and application guidance, please consult the product datasheet or contact our technical support team.
