IMPORTANT INFORMATION/DISCLAIMER
All product specifications, statements, information and data (collectively, the “Information”) in this datasheet or
made available on the website are subject to change. The customer is responsible for checking and verifying
the extent to which the Information contained in this publication is applicable to an order at the time the order is
placed. All Information given herein is believed to be accurate and reliable, but it is presented without guarantee,
warranty, or responsibility of any kind, expressed or implied.
Statements of suitability for certain applications are based on AVX’s knowledge of typical operating conditions
for such applications, but are not intended to constitute and AVX specifically disclaims any warranty concerning
suitability for a specific customer application or use.
ANY USE OF PRODUCT OUTSIDE OF SPECIFICATIONS OR ANY STORAGE OR INSTALLATION
INCONSISTENT WITH PRODUCT GUIDANCE VOIDS ANY WARRANTY.
The Information is intended for use only by customers who have the requisite experience and capability to
determine the correct products for their application. Any technical advice inferred from this Information or
otherwise provided by AVX with reference to the use of AVX’s products is given without regard, and AVX assumes
no obligation or liability for the advice given or results obtained.
Although AVX designs and manufactures its products to the most stringent quality and safety standards, given
the current state of the art, isolated component failures may still occur. Accordingly, customer applications
which require a high degree of reliability or safety should employ suitable designs or other safeguards (such as
installation of protective circuitry or redundancies) in order to ensure that the failure of an electrical component
does not result in a risk of personal injury or property damage.
Unless specifically agreed to in writing, AVX has not tested or certified its products, services or
deliverables for use in high risk applications including medical life support, medical device, direct physical
patient contact, water treatment, nuclear facilities, weapon systems, mass and air transportation control,
flammable environments, or any other potentially life critical uses. Customer understands and agrees
that AVX makes no assurances that the products, services or deliverables are suitable for any high-risk
uses. Under no circumstances does AVX warrant or guarantee suitability for any customer design or
manufacturing process.
Although all product–related warnings, cautions and notes must be observed, the customer should not assume
that all safety measures are indicted or that other measures may not be required.
