The AEC-Q100 standard is a set of rigorous requirements and tests that electronic components must pass to ensure their suitability for use in automotive applications. Since the automotive industry requires electronic components that can perform reliably in harsh environments and under demanding conditions, the AEC-Q100 is an industry standard specification that helps to ensure the quality and reliability of electronic components used in automotive applications.

 

The AEC-Q100 standard is widely recognized and adopted in the automotive industry and is an important consideration in the design and manufacturing of electronic components for automotive applications.

 

AEC-Q100 standard plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and reliability of automotive products and helps to drive innovation and progress in the automotive industry.

 

AEC-Q100 is a set of qualification test sequences for integrated circuits developed by the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC). AEC-Q100 establishes common part-qualification and quality-system standards for automotive electronics, and is the industry-standard specification that outlines the recommended new product and major change qualification requirements and procedures for packaged integrated circuits embedded into automotive applications.
