Plastic Film Capacitors

● Please consult us in case that demand the specification of our company without fail and do the confirmation of the use

condition and that exceeds the entry value and be indistinct when you use it.

● The film capacitors contain a film based dielectric which may be flammable under certain operating conditions.

When in use, they can either emit smoke and/or ignite should the product be defective. It is recommended covering the

surrounding resin with flame-resistant materials or case as needed particularly.

● In the event of troubles of other parts on the circuit such as shortening and opening, provide with proper means for

preventing excessive voltage, current or temperature exceeding the rating from being applied to the film capacitor.

● Prior to use, please make sure that failure of the film capacitors does not have any negative effects on other preventing

electronic circuit components and devices that would possibly cause damage. Proper safety measures should be taken

using fail-safe protective circuit designs to help prevent other devices of becoming unsafe.

Example:

a . State in which basic performance of automobiles (run, turn and stop)

b . False operations

c . Smoke emission/ignitions

● The Film Capacitor listed in this catalog(except for automotive series) are designed and manufactured specifically for

general electronic devices, including audio-video equipment, home appliance, office equipment and data communication

equipment etc.. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that the user contact us in advance it the parts are to be used for

the following devices(items 1 -12), which require having advanced security measures.

The capacitor for automotive can be used for automobiles such as xEV.

(1) Transport equipment (motor vehicles, airplanes, trains, ships, traffic signal controllers)

(2) Medical equipment (life-support equipment, pacemakers for the heart, dialysis controllers)

(3) Aircraft equipment, Aerospace Equipment (airplanes, artificial satellites, rockets, etc.)

(4) Submarine equipment (submarine repeating equipment, etc.)

(5) Generation control equipment (equipment for atomic/hydraulic/heat power plants)

(6) Information processing equipment (large scale computer system)

(7) Electric heating appliance, Burning apparatus

(8) Rotary motion equipment

(9) Security systems

(10) Robots

(11) Lighting equipment

(12) And any similar types of equipment

● If used in a specific appliance that requires an extremely high reliability directly relating with any life-supporting equipment

like electronic aviation controllers, automotive driving controllers and engine controllers, please consult us and use

within the conditions designated in the specification. However the chip type capacitor should not be used in these

appliances.
