The following applies to all products named in this publication:
B760
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 requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application
concerned. We nevertheless 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 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 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 publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain
jurisdictions (e.g. because 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.
Consequently, 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).
