Epcos Capacitors Distributor Global Epcos Distributor IBS Electronics Epcos Parts EPCOS develops, manufactures and markets electronic components, modules and systems, focusing on fast-growing leading-edge technology markets, which include automotive electronics, information and communications technology, industrial electronics and consumer electronics.

A broad product portfolio and truly global presence have made EPCOS a global market leader in products that account for 60 percent of their sales. A further 35 percent is generated by products in which we are the number one in Europe.

An EPCOS gas-filled surge arrester, which consists of a stack of five individual arresters, offers reliable quenching of an applied dc voltage. It has a rated dc operating voltage of 48 V dc plus 20%, according to IEC 61643-11. Surge current capability measures 20 kA at an impulse wave of 8/20 µs, and 4 kA at an impulse wave of 10/350 µs. The arrester, developed by TDK Corp., corresponds to a climate category of 40/90/21 of IEC 600068-1, and operates from -40 to +90°C. Thanks to a capacitance of less than 1 pF (1 MHz) and insulation resistance of more than 10 GΩ (100 V dc), the RoHS-compatible surface-mount component has negligible parasitic coefficients. It’s specifically designed to protect dc power supplies in telecom equipment. Size is 1.6 by 8.4 by 8.9 mm3.

Epcos Products Epcos are one of the worlds leading suppliers of passive components offering products such as capacitors (aluminium, film, power & PFC), Ferrites & accessories, Wound components, EMC filters, Varistors & thermistors. The company was created in 1999 from Siemens Matsushita Components, which was a joint venture of Siemens and Matsushita in 1989. The stock opened on 15 October 1999 at the same time in Frankfurt and New York, with Siemens and Matsushita holding interests of 12.5% each. In 2006 Siemens sold its shares of Epcos. In October 2006 Matsushita also sold its holdings. TDK Corporation agreed to acquire a controlling stake in the company on 31 July 2008. After complete acquisition of EPCOS by TDK on October 1, 2009 the TDK-EPC cooperation with about 36,000 employees (worldwide) was founded in Japan.

Epcos Characteristics:

No Compromise

With its Quality Management (QM) system and within the scope of its zero-defect strategy EPCOS is continually improving both its processes and the control of these processes – and thus also its products and services. Customers’ appreciation of this strict orientation to quality is attested by the numerous awards.
Carmakers and manufacturers of automotive electronics systems are leading the way in insisting that their suppliers operate quality systems that cover every single function and that are consistently focused on enabling these companies to reproducibly control and continually improve their processes. These demands are reflected in the international quality system standard ISO 9001 and into the ISO TS 16949 standard which, based on the former, accommodates the specific needs of the automotive industry.
As proof of the fulfillment of these standards, the Business Group and location-specific certificates are available as downloads.
