2. Reasons for discontinuation
Our 1000GH series fuses, the succeeding model of our 1000FH, have been on sale for more than 10 years.
Recently the sales volume for the 1000FH has been decreasing, and the material costs have steeply risen.
As the result, we came to the conclusion that we would discontinue the production for our 1000FH series fuses.
3.

Substitute fuses: 1000GH series
The installation pitch and the specifications of the 1000GH are not identical to the 1000FH ones.
Please refer and compare the data in Appendix 1, 2 and 3 in order to select the fuse that best suits to yourrequirements.

4. Termination schedule
Purchase orders (except for maintenance purpose orders) will be accepted until June 30, 2011.
The last delivery date (except for maintenance purpose orders) will be on September 30, 2011.
For maintenance, we will accept orders until March 31, 2015.
The last delivery date for the products will be on March 31, 2016.
Please note;
・ We will require a forecast for maintenance purpose orders, and the product price will be re-quoted inaccordance with the quantity in the forecast. Due to the material purchasing, a request for quotation
should be sent to us more than 3 months before your requested delivery date for the initial maintenanceorder.
・ After the above dates, basically, we will be unable to accept any purchase orders for the 1000FH series
