Reliability of Lead (Pb)-Bearing Vishay Automotive Grade MLCCs
Building products with Automotive Grade quality begins with the manufacturing facility. The manufacturing process should be one that’s driven by a quality system that promotes defect prevention, reduction of variation, and continuous improvement. Processes are statistically monitored with all key variables controlled by the quality management system. The requirements for such a system are established by the International AutomotiveTask Force (IATF) and maintainedin the specification IATF 16949. The production facility must be recertified every three years. The location where Vishay’s Lead (Pb)-Bearing Finish MLCCs are manufactured holds this certification.
