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
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 we are 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  a  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 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 an 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 an 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.tdk-electronics.tdk.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. The aforementioned
does  not  apply  in  the  case  of  individual  agreements  deviating  from  the  foregoing  for  customer-specific
products.
6. Unless  otherwise  agreed  in  individual  contracts,  all orders are subject to our General Terms and
Conditions of Supply.
7. Our manufacturing sites serving the automotive business apply the IATF 16949 standard. The IATF
certifications  confirm  our  compliance  with  requirements  regarding  the  quality  management  system  in  the
automotive industry. Referring to customer requirements and customer specific requirements (“CSR”) TDK
always has and will continue  to  have  the  policy  of respecting individual agreements. Even  if  IATF  16949
may appear to  support the  acceptance of unilateral  requirements, we  hereby  like to  emphasize that only
requirements  mutually  agreed  upon  can  and  will  be  implemented  in  our  Quality  Management
System. For clarification purposes we like to point out that obligations from IATF 16949 shall only become
legally binding if individually agreed upon.
