EPCOS AG
Important notes
The following applies to all products
named in this publication:
1. Some parts of this publication
contain statements about the
suitability of our products for
certain areas of application.
These statements are based on
our knowledge of typical require-
ments that are often placed on
our products in the areas of appli-
cation concerned. We never-
theless expressly point out that
such statements cannot be re-
garded as binding statements
about the suitability of our
products for a particular cus-
tomer application. As a rule,
EPCOS is either unfamiliar with
individual customer applications
or less familiar with them than the
customers themselves. For these
reasons, it is always ultimately
incumbent on the customer to
check and decide whether an
EPCOS product with the proper-
ties described in the product
specification is suitable for use in
a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individ-
ual cases, a malfunction of
passive electronic compo-
nents or failure before the end
of their usual service life can-
not be completely ruled out in
the current state of the art,
even if they are operated as
specified. In customer applica-
tions requiring a very high level of
operational safety and especially
in customer applications in which
the malfunction or failure of a pas-
sive electronic component could
endanger human life or health
(e.g. in accident prevention or life-
saving systems), it must therefore
be ensured by means of suitable
design of the customer applica-
tion or other action taken by the
customer (e.g. installation of pro-
tective circuitry or redundancy)
that no injury or damage is sus-
tained by third parties in the event
of malfunction or failure of a pas-
sive electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and
product-specific notes must
be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical
requirements, some of the
products described in this
publication may contain sub-
stances subject to restrictions
in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as
“hazardous”). Useful information
on this will be found in our Materi-
al Data Sheets on the Internet
(www.epcos.com/material).
Should you have any more de-
tailed questions, please contact
our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve
our products. Consequently, the
products described in this
publication may change from
time to time. The same is true of
the corresponding product speci-
fications. Please check therefore
to what extent product descrip-
tions and specifications contained
in this publication are still applica-
ble before or when you place an
order.
We also reserve the right to
discontinue production and
delivery of products. Conse-
quently, we cannot guarantee that
all products named in this publi-
cation will always be available.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in indi-
vidual contracts, all orders are
subject to the current version
of the “General Terms of De-
livery for Products and Ser-
vices in the Electrical Indus-
try” published by the German
Electrical and Electronics In-
dustry Association (ZVEI).
