1. SCOPE
This specification is applicable to chip type multilayer ceramic capacitors with a priority over the other
relevant specifications.
Production places defined in this specification shall be TDK Corporation Japan,
TDK (Suzhou) Co., Ltd and TDK Components U.S.A. Inc.
EXPLANATORY NOTE:
This specification warrants the quality of the ceramic chip capacitors. The chips should be evaluated
or confirmed a state of mounted on your product.
If the use of the chips goes beyond the bounds of the specification, we can not afford to guarantee.

6. P.C. BOARD
When mounting on an aluminum substrate, large case sizes such as C3225, C4532 and C5750
types are more likely to be affected by heat stress from the substrate.
Please inquire separate specification for the large case sizes when mounted on the substrate.
7. INDUSTRIAL WASTE DISPOSAL
Dispose this product as industrial waste in accordance with the Industrial Waste Law.
