The domestic Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan's JASO standard and the international ISO standards regulate the quality and efficiency of automotive fuses. Pacific Engineering Corporation (PEC), as the only supplier specializing in automotive fuses in Japan, holds the oversight position for the “Electronic Device Fuse Section Committee” of the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan. Furthermore, as a member of international standards committees, which write regulations used worldwide, PEC contributes to national and international standardization activities. It goes without saying that bearing this important responsibility requires a high level of specialist technology and knowledge across a broad range of fields. For example, PEC also has a deep understanding of the special characteristics of automotive wiring required for all automotive electronic devices. By being able to suggest exact matches between fuses and electronic wiring, PEC receives top ranks of car and harness maker satisfaction.
At PEC we send our brightest technology department staff as “guest” engineers to work alongside car manufacturers as needed. Absorbing broad technological know-how from the front lines of automotive production we put higher levels of specialty technology and information to use developing fuses. Lately, per vehicle type fuse development requirements have increased, and the important demands of automotive science have diversified with the ongoing evolution of electronics. Partnership, said another way “building together with the customer from the development stage,” continues to be our philosophy in supporting the various needs of modern automotive fuses.
Automotive fuses are important parts: users trust them with their lives. We refuse to compromise on the quality of these components. PEC's quality control standards are certified by ISO/TS16949(part of ISO9001), targeted at the automotive industry, implementing “built-in quality” mid-process inspection of every item on our checklists. Every automotive fuse production line includes an automatic inspection system and performing surveillance day and night. We guarantee both production and quality; quality consciousness at the production source is improved as necessary. We are also creating cost reductions through rationalization of our methods.
To maintain and take the reliability of our product supply even further, PEC's testing facility has passed the International Standards for Quality Management System ISO/IEC17025 proficiency evaluation, testing and inspecting efficiency of each kind of durability under harsh usage conditions. For products that met the regulations of these tests, there is no doubt as to whether they conform to international criteria. North America and Europe are just the beginning; PEC is spreading in global share becoming stronger all the time.
