The VW 80808 standard, developed by the Volkswagen automobile company, describes the requirements for electronic components and assemblies in electrical and electronic parts in motor vehicles up to 3,5 tons, and defines test methods.
This standard consists of two parts:
The main function of this standard is to protect the electrical system in the vehicle from a short circuit between the battery and ground.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors covered by this standard are suitable for a variety of applications that require proven, reliable performance in harsh environmental conditions. Compliant with the VW 80800 standard, these capacitors highlight the vital and robust nature of capacitors required for the mission and safety of critical automotive subsystems, whether under-hood or in-cab automotive.
These capacitors use flexible termination technology that blocks the transfer of board stress to the rigid ceramic body, thus reducing flex cracks that cause low insulation resistance or short-circuit failures. This technology does not eliminate the potential for propagated mechanical damage during extreme environmental and transport conditions, but provides superior flexible performance over standard termination systems. It also complies with the restriction of hazardous substances directive (RoHS).
Volkswagen, one of the world's largest automobile manufacturers, has published many standards for components used in the automotive industry. The VW 80808 standard is one of them.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors, known as MLCCs, are considered future-proof products for demanding automotive applications. Integrating these capacitors into a fail-safe strategy is a forward-looking approach. This method utilizes available space optimally while simultaneously providing high mechanical robustness. It allows for the production of durable, high-capacity components in compact chassis sizes.
Our organization, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, for electronic components and assemblies in electrical and electronic parts in motor vehicles up to 80808 tons, within the scope of VW 3,5 standard. It also provides testing services.
