Notes

The source says the company and pronunciation were originally unknown. After finding a manufacturer website and examining the Chinese company name, it suggests 'YIH' derives from the company name and 'CON' from condenser, pronounced approximately 'Yi-con'. In a CATV tuner example, YIHCON parts were replaced with Japanese-manufacturer 105 °C capacitors; other application reports are also noted.
