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 o f a pplication. T hese statements are bas ed on o ur know ledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expres sly point out that su ch st atements can not b e reg arded as b inding
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 t hemselves. For these reasons , it is always ultimately incum bent on t he
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 sta te of the art, even if th ey are operated as specified. I n customer appli cations
requiring 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
suitable design of t he c ustomer a pplication or ot her ac tion t aken by t he cu stomer (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 t o satisfy c ertain technical requirem ents, some of the products described in t his
publication may co ntain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.

Material Data Sheets on the I nternet (www. epcos.com/material). Should you hav e 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 ch ange from time to time. The same is t rue of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check t herefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
