Legal Disclaimer NoticeThis legal disclaimer applies to purchasers and users of Bourns® products manufactured by or on behalf of Bourns, Inc. and its
affiliates (collectively, “Bourns”).
Unless otherwise expressly indicated in writing, Bourns® products and data sheets relating thereto are subject to change
without notice. Users should check for and obtain the latest relevant information and verify that such information is current andcomplete before placing orders for Bourns® products.
The characteristics and parameters of a Bourns® product set forth in its data sheet are based on laboratory conditions, andstatements regarding the suitability of products for certain types of applications are based on Bourns’ knowledge of typicalrequirements in generic applications. The characteristics and parameters of a Bourns® product in a user application may varyfrom the data sheet characteristics and parameters due to (i) the combination of the Bourns® product with other components
in the user’s application, or (ii) the environment of the user application itself. The characteristics and parameters of a Bourns®
product also can and do vary in different applications and actual performance may vary over time. Users should always verify
the actual performance of the Bourns® product in their specific devices and applications, and make their own independentjudgments regarding the amount of additional test margin to design into their device or application to compensate fordifferences between laboratory and real world conditions.
Unless Bourns has explicitly designated an individual Bourns® product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry
standard (e.g., IATF 16949) or a particular qualification (e.g., UL listed or recognized), Bourns is not responsible for any failureof an individual Bourns® product to meet the requirements of such industry standard or particular qualification. Users ofBourns® products are responsible for ensuring compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to theirdevices or applications.
Bourns® products are not recommended, authorized or intended for use in nuclear, lifesaving, life-critical or life-sustaining applications, nor in any other applications where failure or malfunction may result in personal injury, death, or severe property orenvironmental damage. Unless expressly and specifically approved in writing by two authorized Bourns representatives on acase-by-case basis, use of any Bourns® products in such unauthorized applications might not be safe and thus is at the user’ssole risk. Life-critical applications include devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices andgenerally equivalent classifications outside of the United States.
Bourns expressly identifies those Bourns® standard products that are suitable for use in automotive applications on suchproducts’ data sheets in the section entitled “Applications.” Unless expressly and specifically approved in writing by twoauthorized Bourns representatives on a case-by-case basis, use of any other Bourns® standard products in an automotive
application might not be safe and thus is not recommended, authorized or intended and is at the user’s sole risk. If Bourns
expressly identifies a sub-category of automotive application in the data sheet for its standard products (such as infotainment
or lighting), such identification means that Bourns has reviewed its standard product and has determined that if such Bourns®
standard product is considered for potential use in automotive applications, it should only be used in such sub-category ofautomotive applications. Any reference to Bourns® standard product in the data sheet as compliant with the AEC-Q standard
or “automotive grade” does not by itself mean that Bourns has approved such product for use in an automotive application.
Bourns® standard products are not tested to comply with United States Federal Aviation Administration standards generally
or any other generally equivalent governmental organization standard applicable to products designed or manufactured foruse in aircraft or space applications. Bourns expressly identifies Bourns® standard products that are suitable for use in aircraftor space applications on such products’ data sheets in the section entitled “Applications.” Unless expressly and specificallyapproved in writing by two authorized Bourns representatives on a case-by-case basis, use of any other Bourns® standard
product in an aircraft or space application might not be safe and thus is not recommended, authorized or intended and is at theuser’s sole risk.
The use and level of testing applicable to Bourns® custom products shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis by Bourns andthe user for which such Bourns® custom products are specially designed. Absent a written agreement between Bourns and theuser regarding the use and level of such testing, the above provisions applicable to Bourns® standard products shall also apply
to such Bourns® custom products.
