All specifications in this catalog and production status of products are subject to change without notice. Prior to the purchase, please contact NEC Tokin for updated product data. Please request for a specification sheet for detailed product data prior to the purchase. Before using the product in this catalog, please read “Precautions” and other safety precautions listed in the printed version catalog. 2006.03.24 P0622EDTM01VOL02E 2 Correct Use of Tantalum Chip Capacitors Be sure to read this before using NEC TOKIN Tantalum Capacitors. [Notes] Be sure to read "PRECAUTIONS FOR TANTALUM CAPACITOR USE" (p56 - p66) before commencing circuit design or using the capacitor. Confirm the usage conditions and rated performance of the capacitor before use. Ninety percent of the failure that occurs in this capacitor is caused by an increase in leakage current or short-circuiting. It is therefore important to make sufficient allowances for redundant wiring in the circuit design. [Quality Grades] NEC TOKIN devices are classified into the following quality grades in accordance with their application. The quality grade of all devices in this document is "standard"; the devices in this document cannot be used for "special" or "specific" quality grade applications. Customers who intend to use a product or products in this document for applications other than those specified under the "standard" quality grade must contact NEC TOKIN sales representative in advance. Standard: This quality grade is intended for applications in which failure or malfunction of the device is highly unlikely to cause harm to persons or damage to property, or be the source of any negative effects or problems in the wider community. Special: This quality grade is intended for special applications that have common requirements, such specific industrial fields. Devices with a "special" quality grade are designed, manufactured, and tested using a more stringent quality assurance program than that used for "standard" grade devices. There is a high possibility that failure or malfunction of the device when being used for applications in this category will cause harm to persons or damage to property, or create negative effects or problems in the wider community. Specific: Devices with a "specific" quality grade are designed, manufactured, and tested using a quality assurance program that is designated by the customer or that is created in accordance with the customer's specifications. There is an extremely high possibility that failure or malfunction of the device when being used for applications in this category will cause harm to persons or damage to property, or create serious problems in the wider community. Customers who use NEC TOKIN's products for these "specific" applications must conclude an individual quality agreement and/or development agreement with NEC TOKIN. A quality assurance program designated by the customer must also be determined in advance.
