Suntan Technology Company Limited – All Kinds of Capacitors
If your team is building a capacitor sourcing strategy, the priority isn’t brand comparison—it’s supplier qualification, MOQ flexibility, and reliable delivery. This guide gives purchasing managers a practical checklist to vet partners (including well-known names like Panasonic, Nichicon, Rubycon, Samwha, Lelon, EPCOS/TDK, Nippon Chemi-Con, Würth, Sanyo, KEMET, and KJ Electronics) while exploring a second source option with competitive pricing and predictable timelines.
Supplier Qualification Checklist (What to Verify)
- Series Coverage & Fit: standard / wide temperature / low impedance / long life options aligned to your BOM and second-source needs.
- MOQ & Bulk Capacitors: ability to support bulk orders and staged shipments; clear MOQ policy.
- Forecast & Safety Stock: capacity to support rolling forecasts and buffer stock for ramps and EOL bridges.
- Lead-Time Reliability: not just “fast” once—predictable delivery windows backed by recent PO history.
- Commercial Flexibility: price holds, alternate incoterms, and consolidated billing for multi-site deliveries.
- Quality & RMA Process: traceability, failure analysis workflow, turnaround commitments.
FAQ: How Purchasing Teams Reduce Sourcing Risk
Q1. How do we add a second source without redesign?
+Map your critical values (capacitance, voltage, size, ripple/impedance class, endurance) and shortlist equivalent series. Keep the same footprint first; validate ripple/ESR and endurance class through datasheets and small-lot builds.
Q2. What signals a supplier can prevent delivery slips?
+A clear available-to-promise process, transparent capacity communication, and a track record of on-time shipments to distributors are stronger signals than one-time “expedite” claims.
Q3. Where does Suntan® fit into this plan?
+Suntan positions itself as a practical second-source: matching required specifications with cost-effective options and more predictable lead times. That balance helps buyers stabilize schedules without inflating total cost of ownership.

What to Request from a Candidate Supplier
- Recommended cross-references for your charger / LED driver / medical power SKUs.
- Recent on-time delivery references (distribution or OEM), plus indicative LT window.
- MOQ/price breaks for bulk capacitors and multi-drop shipping options.
- Sample plan (pilot build quantities) and FA/RMA contact window.
