Automotive Grade Component Guide
2022-02-10
●Introduction:
Systems and electronics within automobiles have become increasingly more sophisticated with the introduction of new and improved features every year. Crucial to customer satisfaction is that each of these features must be reliably powered, protected and connected to its respective interface within the overall automotive system. Bourns has substantial automotive component level experience and supplies leading component solutions. The Bourns Automotive division has extensive experience designing, building and supplying high reliability AEC-Q compliant components. Bourns offers a wide variety of resistors and magnetics to condition and filter electronic circuits. To complement our conditioning products, we offer a portfolio of circuit protection products that have been used by our customers in typical automotive applications.
All Bourns® standard components that are approved for typical automotive applications are manufactured in facilities that are fully certified to IATF 16949, and have been tested, qualified using the AEC-Q product validation standard for passive components and presented to the customer for selection and approval using PPAP. Bourns also offers customers access to our application test lab.
Bourns has a long history of serving the automotive market with quality sensor products. The company’s inductive and circuit protection components are available to meet the board level requirements of many automotive applications. With excellent customer service and the availability of field application engineers, Bourns works closely with automotive system designers in helping customers select the right components, providing layout support, and making modifications as requested by the customer. Bourns performs surge tests and offers application and customer-specific testing.
Bourns® Automotive Grade standard components are designed and developed to meet the following criteria:
■Compliance with the latest applicable AEC-Q200, AEC-Q101 or AEC-Q102 product validation standard or its equivalent as determined by Bourns
■New product and new process development meets or exceeds the requirements established in the latest AIAG revision of the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) process. Bourns’ design review process may be used if the Bourns quality and design engineering teams have established that the Bourns® standard component meets or exceeds the requirements of the APQP process
■The manufacturing facility(ies) has a VDA 6.3 process audit score greater than 80 % with no downgrade
■The manufacturing site (Bourns or third-party subcontractor) that manufactures the Bourns® standard components must be certified to IATF 16949
■The Bourns® standard components must be presented to a customer for approval using PPAP.
The “Automotive Grade” designation is not a substitute for the customer’s careful selection and testing of such Bourns® standard components in their particular applications.
