for any errors which may appear in this document.

NEC/TOKIN Corporation does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or
other intellectual property rights of third parties by or arising from use of a device described herein
or any other liability arising from use of such device. No license, either express, implied or
otherwise, is granted under any patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC
/TOKIN Corporation or others.

While NEC/TOKIN Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its
e l e c t r o n i c components, the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks
of damage or injury to persons or property arising from a defect in an NEC/TOKIN electronic component,
customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in its design, such as redundancy,fire-
containment, and anti-failure features. NEC/TOKIN devices are classified into the following three
quality grades:
"Standard," "Special," and "Specific". The Specific quality grade applies only to devices
developed based on a customer designated "quality assurance program" for a specific
a p p l i c a t i o n . T h e r e c o m m e n d e d applications of a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated
below. Customers must check the quality grade of each device before using it in a particular
application.
Standard: Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement
equipment, audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools,
personal electronic equipment and industrial robots
Special: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems,
anti-disaster systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical
e q u i p m e n t ( n o t specifically designed for life support)
Specific: Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control
s y s t e m s , l i f e support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC/TOKIN devices is "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC/TOKIN’s
Data Sheets or Data Books. If customers intend to use NEC/TOKIN devices for applications other
than those specified for Standard quality grade, they should contact an NEC/TOKIN sales representative
in advance.

(Note)
(1) "NEC/TOKIN" as used in this statement means NEC/TOKIN Corporation and also includes
its majority-owned subsidiaries.
( 2 ) "NEC/TOKIN electronic component products" means any electronic component product developed
or manufactured by or for NEC/TOKIN (as defined above).
