Cautions and warning
Do not exceed the upper category temperature (UCT).
Do not apply any mechanical stress to the capacitor terminals.
Avoid any compressive, tensile or flexural stress.
Do not move the capacitor after it has been soldered to the PC board.
Do not pick up the PC board by the soldered capacitor.
Do not place the capacitor on a PC board whose PTH hole spacing differs from the specified lead
spacing.
Do not exceed the specified time or temperature limits during soldering.
Avoid external energy inputs, such as fire or electricity.
Avoid overload of the capacitors.
The table below summarizes the safety instructions that must always be observed. A detailed description can
be found in the relevant sections of the chapters "General technical information" and "Mounting guidelines".
Topic
Safety information
Storage conditions
Make sure that capacitors are stored within the
specified range of time, temperature and humidity
conditions.
Avoid external energy, such as fire or electricity
(passive flammability), avoid overload of the
capacitors (active flammability) and consider the
flammability of materials.
Do not exceed the tested ability to withstand
vibration. The capacitors are tested to
IEC 60068-2-6.
EPCOS offers film capacitors specially designed
for operation under more severe vibration regimes
such as those found in automotive applications.
Consult our catalog "Film Capacitors for
Automotive Electronics".
Safety information
5.2
"Resistance to vibration"
Do not exceed the specified time or temperature
limits during soldering.
Use only suitable solvents for cleaning capacitors.
When embedding finished circuit assemblies in
plastic resins, chemical and thermal influences
must be taken into account.
Caution: Consult us first, if you also wish to
embed other uncoated component types!

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, 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 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.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.
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 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).
