performance which are provided in both the catalog and the specifications. Use exceeding that which is specified may result in inferior

performance or cause a short, open, smoking, or flaming to occur, etc.

2. Please consult the manufacturer in advance when the capacitor is used in devices such as: devices which deal with human life, i.e. medical

Accident or malfunction of devices such as medical devices, space equipment and devices having to do with atomic power could generate

grave consequence with respect to human lives or, possibly, a portion of the public. Capacitors used in these devices may require high

reliability design different from that of general purpose capacitors.

3.

Please use the capacitors in conformance with the operating temperature provided in both the catalog and the specifications.

Be especially cautious not to exceed the maximum temperature. In the situation the maximum temperature set forth in both the catalog and

specifications is exceeded, the capacitor’s insulation resistance may deteriorate, power may suddenly surge and short−circuit may occur.

The capacitor has a loss, and may self−heat due to equivalent series resistance when alternating electric current is passed therethrough. As this

Exceeding the rated voltage provided in both catalog and specifications may lead to defective withstanding voltage or, in worst case

situations, may cause the capacitor to smoke or flame.

5. When the capacitor is to be employed in a circuit in which there is continuous application of a high frequency voltage or a steep pulse

voltage, even though it is within the rated voltage, please inquire to the manufacturer.

In the situation the capacitor is to be employed using a high frequency AC voltage or a extremely fast rising pulse voltage, even though it is

within the rated voltage, it is possible capacitor reliability will deteriorate.

6.

It is a common phenomenon of high−dielectric products to have a deteriorated amount of static electricity due to the application of DC voltage.

Due caution is necessary as the degree of deterioration varies depending on the quality of capacitor materials, capacity, as well as the load voltage

at the time of operation.

7. Do not use the capacitor in an environment where it might easily exceed the respective provisions concerning shock and vibration specified

1. If the component is stored in minimal packaging (a heat−sealed or zippered plastic bag), the bag should be kept closed. Once the bag has

been opened, reseal it or store it in a desiccator.

2. Keep storage place temperature +5 to +40 degree C, humidity 20 to 70% RH. See JIS C 60721-3-1, class 1K2 for other climatic conditions.

3. The storage atmosphere must be free of corrosive gas such as sulfur dioxide and chlorine. Also, avoid exposing the product to saline

moisture. If the product is exposed to such atmospheres, the terminals will oxidize and solderability will be effected.

4. Precautions 1) to 3) apply to chip capacitors packaged in carrier tapes and bulk cases.

5. The solderability is assured for 6 months from our shipping date if the above storage precautions are followed.

6. Chip capacitors may crack if exposed to hydrogen (H2) gas while sealed or if coated with silicon, which generates hydrogen gas.
