warranted to be suitable for use in life support, life-critical or safety-critical
systems or equipment, nor in applications where failure or malfunction of an
BLF8G20LS-260A#5
Product data sheet
Ampleon product can reasonably be expected to result in personal injury,
death or severe property or environmental damage. Ampleon and its
