Legal Disclaimer Notice

www.bourns.com

This 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 and complete 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, and statements regarding

the suitability of products for certain types of applications are based on

Bourns’ knowledge of typical requirements in generic applications. The

characteristics and parameters of a Bourns® product in a user application

may vary from 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 independent

judgments regarding the amount of additional test margin to design into

their device or application to compensate for differences 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., ISO/TS

16949) or a particular qualification (e.g., UL listed or recognized), Bourns is

not responsible for any failure of an individual Bourns® product to meet the

requirements of such industry standard or particular qualification. Users of

Bourns® products are responsible for ensuring compliance with safety-related

requirements and standards applicable to their devices 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 or environmental damage. Unless expressly and

specifically approved in writing by two authorized Bourns representatives

on a case-by-case basis, use of any Bourns® products in such unauthorized

applications might not be safe and thus is at the user’s sole risk. Life-

critical applications include devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration as Class III devices and generally equivalent classifications

outside of the United States.

Bourns expressly identifies those Bourns® standard products that are suitable

for use in automotive applications on such products’ data sheets in the

section entitled “Applications.” Unless expressly and specifically approved in

writing by two authorized 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 of automotive 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 for use in aircraft or space applications. Bourns

expressly identifies Bourns® standard products that are suitable for use in

aircraft or space applications on such products’ data sheets in the section

entitled “Applications.” Unless expressly and specifically approved 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 the

user’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 and the user for which such

Bourns® custom products are specially designed. Absent a written agreement

between Bourns and the user regarding the use and level of such testing, the

above provisions applicable to Bourns® standard products shall also apply to

such Bourns® custom products.

Users shall not sell, transfer, export or re-export any Bourns® products or

technology for use in activities which involve the design, development,

production, use or stockpiling of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons

or missiles, nor shall they use Bourns® products or technology in any

facility which engages in activities relating to such devices. The foregoing

restrictions apply to all uses and applications that violate national or

international prohibitions, including embargos or international regulations.

Further, Bourns® products and Bourns technology and technical data may

not under any circumstance be exported or re-exported to countries

subject to international sanctions or embargoes. Bourns® products may not,

without prior authorization from Bourns and/or the U.S. Government, be

resold, transferred, or re-exported to any party not eligible to receive U.S.

commodities, software, and technical data.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Bourns disclaims

(i) any and all liability for special, punitive, consequential, incidental or

indirect damages or lost revenues or lost profits, and (ii) any and all implied

warranties, including implied warranties of fitness for particular purpose,

non-infringement and merchantability.
