Notes
FC2 says YEC had a longer history and larger scale than expected, yet was widely used in low-cost products. The archive reports numerous leakage cases beyond the 2001 electrolyte incident and widespread use in OEM PCs. It also notes that the brand became strongly associated with leaking capacitors in the 2ch community; this is a historical community reputation, not a measured failure rate.
