Specify “YF” suffix components for Automotive end use

Source controlled to TS-16949 certified production sites

Specific production lines with focus upon support for automotive equipment applications

Use of “YF” suffix components provide added value, by assuring best fit component is selected for use in end application

Can prevent premature wear-out or early end of life of component (and system)

Assures to meet the customer’s lifetime expectations

Prevent misapplication of components and related failures (of component & system)

Review of application for correct component fit, can save by preventing costly repairs (or rework) due to usage of improper component
? Questions or help on above, please contact NIC:
