Questions that arrive before a purchase order
Sixteen answers, including four that say no. The "no" answers are the ones that save the most time on both sides.
We supply power MOSFETs, SiC devices and rectifiers packaged in Shenzhen, with datasheets and lot test records per ordering code, ISO 9001:2015 for the quality system, and MOQ and lead time confirmed in the quotation. We are not automotive qualified, we are not a wafer fab, and we do not sell bare die.
Products and replacement
Can you replace a specific competitor part number?
Send the full part number, package and operating conditions. We compare voltage class, on-resistance at your gate voltage, gate charge, output capacitance and body diode behaviour at matched conditions, then quote only where the comparison holds. A voltage and current rating alone does not establish a replacement.
Do you supply 1200 V silicon or SiC devices?
Not in the current datasheet set. Our silicon MOSFETs run to 700 V and SiC to 800 V. Above 900 V the practical answer is silicon carbide, and we say so rather than stretching an 800 V part into a higher-voltage design.
Are IGBTs available?
IGBT is listed in our product direction, but the knowledge base does not contain complete per-type IGBT parameters, so we do not publish specific IGBT ratings. Ask with your application and we will confirm what can be quoted rather than inventing a table.
Can you supply bare die or wafers?
No. We package die from qualified foundries; we do not sell wafers or bare die, and we do not offer wafer-level packaging such as WLCSP or flip chip.
Ordering and documentation
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ is set per ordering code and packing format — a tape-and-reel quantity differs from a tube quantity — and is confirmed in the quotation rather than published as a blanket number. Sample quantities for evaluation are available before a production order.
What is the lead time?
Lead time depends on whether the part is in stock, in a current production run, or needs a new packaging lot, and it is confirmed against the production plan with the quotation. We do not publish a single number that applies to every part.
Which documents ship with an order?
A certificate of conformance, the electrical test record for the lot, and the datasheet for the ordering code. Reliability reports are supplied per part number on request. A packing list and commercial invoice accompany export shipments.
Can you mark our own part number on the device?
Yes, for production volume, with a marking approval step: you approve the marking drawing, we build a sample lot, you sign off, then volume starts. A marking change is a documented change with a first-article record.
Quality and qualification
Are your devices automotive qualified?
No. We hold ISO 9001:2015 and do not claim AEC-Q101, PPAP or IATF 16949. If your programme requires those, that is a supplier-selection criterion we will not meet, and saying so at the enquiry stage is cheaper than an audit.
Which reliability tests do you run?
Nine types in-house to JESD22 methods: HTRB, H3TRB, HT/HU, high-temperature storage, temperature cycling, thermal shock, solderability, RSH and HPC. Failure analysis uses X-ray, C-SAM, die shear, wire pull and optical microscopy.
Do you test every unit?
Every unit is electrically tested for breakdown, on-resistance, threshold voltage and leakage before marking. Dynamic parameters such as Trr and Qrr are characterised per die lot rather than 100% tested, because they need a defined di/dt and cost throughput. Both statements are in the datasheet notes.
Do you notify customers before changing a die source?
Yes, by PCN before shipment, covering die source, mould compound, lead frame supplier and assembly site, with the qualification evidence and effective date. A silent die change is the most common cause of a field failure that cannot be reproduced.
Company and sourcing
Are you a wafer fab?
No. We are fab-lite: die come from qualified foundries, and we handle device definition, packaging, test and reliability in Shenzhen. We do not claim a proprietary wafer process or a 100% in-house supply chain.
Can we audit your plant?
Yes, by appointment and under NDA. Remote video walkthroughs of the assembly, test and reliability areas are available for a first screening. Audits of foundry partners are separate and depend on their visitor policies.
Where do you ship from and on what terms?
From Shenzhen, China. Standard terms are EXW Shenzhen or FOB Shenzhen, with CIF and DDP available for customers who prefer a landed cost. Payment terms are confirmed per order.
What is the company legal name?
Shenzhen Hexin Electronics Co., Ltd. (深圳市和芯电子有限公司), founded 2011. OCENME is the brand used on products and documentation.
Send the part number and the operating conditions
Tell us the voltage class, current, switching frequency and what the device is replacing. You will get a datasheet, a parameter comparison at matched conditions, and a quotation with MOQ and lead time.
