Capxon reputation and demonetization – Page 1

So I talked to one of the German sales/technical reps and we had a very good chat. He told me CapXon is really trying to get more foot in the European market (they are Taiwanese btw, not Chinese like everyone says) and they got a fully Automotive qualified production line.

So I started to hint on there bad reputation and he actually told me that that primairly comes form the fact that in the past a lot of chinese design houses used to put in 85 deg C/1000hours rated caps in pc switched mode supplies so yeah, what do you expect….
Seems to me that is more about bad engineering than the caps being bad.

All and all I had a nice chat and actually started feeling a bit sorry for them.
So I now CrapXon is catchy and its nice to talk crap about “some hung low chinese” company (they are Taiwanese..) but maybe we should cut them some slack and give them a chance?

(ps. no, i dont own any stock or represent them )

So, yesterday I was at the Electronica 2018 fair in Munich and my biggest supprise was: a nice and professional looking Capxon stand.. The name alone got my attention (mostely because of Dave’s constantly CrapXon remarks) but to my supprise they have some pretty decent AEC-Q grade parts and some real nice stuff (150 deg C polymer) comming up next year.So I talked to one of the German sales/technical reps and we had a very good chat.
