Written by MaRCTech2 Team | Mar 12, 2026 4:32:22 AM

Jennifer and Nick’s presence at APEC 2026 is a chance to put a very real face on the future of power electronics, and to connect Jianghai America and Taiwan Semiconductor Company with engineers who are actively reshaping how our world is powered. If you are planning (or considering) attending APEC 2026, Jennifer and Nick want to connect!

Why APEC 2026 Really Matters

APEC 2026 is the 41st IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference, held March 22–26 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. It draws more than 5,000 participants from over 50 countries and features around 300 exhibiting companies, making it the largest power electronics showcase in North America.

This event is where ideas move from whiteboard to production: technical sessions span everything from milliwatts to megawatts and from low-voltage consumer gadgets to EVs, data centers, electrified aircraft, and the modern grid. Industry sessions, workshops, and the exposition floor bring device makers, system designers, and OEMs into the same conversation about efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.

One APEC regular once described it this way:

“You walk in thinking in components and walk out thinking in systems.”

That is the kind of ah-ha moment that changes how teams specify capacitors, rectifiers, MOSFETs, and protection devices for years to come.

Jianghai America: Capacitors Where Reliability Is Non‑Negotiable

Jianghai, founded in 1958 and producing aluminum electrolytic capacitors since 1970, is today the largest electrolytic capacitor manufacturer in China and ranked among the top 10 worldwide. With over 4,300 employees, including more than 600 R&D engineers, and an annual output of roughly 8.5 billion pieces, Jianghai has the scale to support serious, long-term programs.

Its portfolio spans aluminum electrolytic, polymer, supercapacitors, and power film capacitors across radial, SMD, snap-in, lug, and screw terminal formats, targeted at demanding power applications.

Jianghai’s parts are designed into power supplies, inverters, drives, lighting, consumer electronics, computing, automotive, aviation, and even military-grade systems where lifetime and stability matter.

Quality and innovation are built in, not bolted on: Jianghai holds more than 400 patents, operates to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, QS 9000, and UL approvals, and runs vertically integrated, lead-free production with Japanese-sourced equipment and long-term technology partnerships.

One common “APEC moment” happens when a design engineer realizes that a capacitor is not just a commodity. They start with a simple question,

“How do I extend life at 105°C without oversizing the entire bank?”

…and walk away with a specific Jianghai series, a derating strategy, and field data that justifies a design change to their reliability team. That shift, from buying on price to designing on performance, often begins with a conversation exactly like the ones Jennifer and Nick will have on the show floor.

At APEC 2026, Jianghai is especially relevant for engineers wrestling with:

    • Higher-density power supplies and inverters that must still meet stringent lifetime specs.
    • EV, industrial drive, and renewable energy systems where ripple current, thermal headroom, and field reliability are tightly scrutinized.
    • Programs that need both cost efficiency and a direct engineering relationship, not just a catalog.

With Jianghai America’s warehouse, distributed sales engineers, and engineering network, North American customers can move quickly from concept to qualified supply, with local support that understands both the technology and the urgency.

Taiwan Semiconductor Company: Power Devices Behind Every Smart System

Taiwan Semiconductor Company (TSC), founded in 1979 and now a publicly traded company with more than 1,500 employees, has become a global leader in discrete power semiconductors. The company began with rectifiers and today offers a broad portfolio that includes trench Schottky diodes, MOSFETs (including automotive-qualified devices), high-voltage rectifiers, ESD protection devices, LED driver ICs, analog ICs, and even wide bandgap SiC and GaN technologies.

TSC’s devices sit at the heart of automotive electronics, industrial automation, consumer electronics, telecommunications infrastructure, and renewable energy systems. Its manufacturing is built around IATF 16949-certified facilities, a “zero-defect” mindset, and environmental standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, critical for customers who design for long life and strict compliance.

What sets TSC apart is the combination of deep specialization in discrete power devices, breadth across power management and protection, and agility as a mid-sized, globally distributed manufacturer. Customers can source rectifiers, MOSFETs, ESD protection, and analog support ICs from one partner, simplifying qualification and supply chain, while still getting responsive, application-driven support.

At APEC 2026, TSC will be exhibiting at Booth #1119, highlighting its latest power semiconductor solutions, including new low-clamp TVS devices, advanced MOSFETs, and high-performance protection technologies for next-generation power designs. As TSC puts it, this is an opportunity to engage directly with technical and sales experts on how their devices can support current and future system architectures.

A common “ah-ha” conversation at TSC’s booth goes something like this:

… an engineer shows up troubleshooting intermittent field failures in a harsh industrial environment. After a few minutes of discussion and a look at waveforms, they realize a higher-performance TVS or a different MOSFET technology can both protect the system and reduce overspec in other areas.

That single insight can save months of debugging and thousands in warranty exposure.

MaRCTech2, Jennifer, and Nick: Turning a Big Show into Real Progress

In a conference with more than 570 technical papers, 170+ industry presentations, and 300 exhibiting companies, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. This is where a focused, relationship-driven team like MaRCTech2 makes the difference.

Jennifer and Nick are not “working a booth,” they’re acting as guides, connecting the dots between:

    • Your specific design challenges and the right Jianghai capacitor or TSC device.
    • Roadmap conversations (SiC, GaN, higher switching frequencies, miniaturization, thermal constraints) and what is actually available and supportable in production.
    • The broader APEC narrative, electrification, cloud and AI power delivery, sustainable energy, and efficiency, and the component-level decisions that enable those systems.

As MaRCTech2’s founder and President/CEO, Jennifer invites customers to “send us your requirements and let our experienced team provide solutions for you,” backed by a complete capability that includes in-house engineering, component manufacturing, assembly, and technical sales support.

That philosophy shows up on the APEC floor as practical, direct conversations about what you are trying to build, not just what’s on the datasheet.

One of the most powerful uses of APEC is to “stack” conversations:

    • Morning: attend a technical or industry session on high-density power conversion or capacitor reliability.
    • Afternoon: sit down at Jianghai’s area to talk through actual capacitor selections, derating, and life calculations.
    • Same day: walk over to TSC’s booth at #1119 to discuss rectifiers, MOSFETs, or protection devices that complement that design path.

Those sequences turn conference insights into implementable design changes while everyone is in the same building.

How to Take Action Before, During, and After APEC

To get real value, not just a badge and a bag, consider these concrete steps:

    • Before APEC
      • Map two or three critical projects where capacitors, rectifiers, MOSFETs, or protection are risk points (lifetime, availability, thermal margins, or cost).
      • Share a short summary and any key specs with Jennifer in advance, so she and the manufacturers can be ready with options and questions.

    • During APEC
      • Visit Taiwan Semiconductor at Booth #1119 and ask specifically about low-clamp TVS devices, advanced MOSFETs, and automotive or renewable-energy-focused solutions.
      • Meet with Jianghai America to review capacitor candidates for your power supply, inverter, or drive, especially if you’re pushing temperature, ripple current, or space constraints.
      • Use at least one technical or industry session as a springboard for a booth conversation: 

 ”We just heard a talk on X; how would your parts support that?” 

    • After APEC
      • Line up sample requests, simulation models, and application notes from Jianghai and TSC for your top designs.
      • Schedule a follow-up design review with Jennifer and Nick to align device selection, risk mitigation, and supply strategy for your 2026–2027 roadmap.

Take a moment to reach out to Jennifer and Nick either prior to or during the event. Bring your real-world challenges, and ask the hard questions about lifetime, efficiency, and protection.
