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 application concerned. We
neverthe-
less expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements
about the suitability of our products for a particular customer
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 properties described in
the
product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer
application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of passive electronic
components
or failure before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in
the
current state of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications
re-
quiring a very high level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which
the
malfunction or failure of a passive 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
suit-
able design of the customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation
of
protective circuitry or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in
the
event of malfunction or failure of a passive 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
pub-
lication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
be-
cause they are classed as “hazardous”). Useful information on this will be found in our
Material
Data Sheets on the Internet
(www.epcos.com/material).
Should you have any more
detailed
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
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and
specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an
order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products.
Consequent-
ly, we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be
available.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to the current
version
of the “General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services in the Electrical
Industry”
published by the German Electrical and Electronics Industry Association
(ZVEI)
.
