1. The performance of chip monolithic ceramic capacitors

may be affected by the storage conditions.

1-1. Store the capacitors in the following conditions:

Room Temperature of +5°C to +40°C and

a Relative Humidity of 20% to 70%.

(1) Sunlight, dust, rapid temperature changes,

corrosive gas atmosphere, or high temperature

and humidity conditions during storage may affect

solderability and packaging performance.

Please use product within six months of receipt.

(2) Please confirm solderability before using after six

months. Store the capacitors without opening the

original bag. Even if the storage period is short, do

not exceed the specified atmospheric conditions.

1-2. Corrosive gas can react with the termination

(external) electrodes or lead wires of capacitors, and

result in poor solderability. Do not store the capacitors

in an atmosphere consisting of corrosive gas (e.g.,

hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, ammonia

gas, etc.).

1-3. Due to moisture condensation caused by rapid

humidity changes, or the photochemical change

caused by direct sunlight on the terminal electrodes

and/or the resin/epoxy coatings, the solderability and

electrical performance may deteriorate. Do not store

capacitors under direct sunlight or in high humidity

conditions.

<Applicable to GCG Series>

1-4. After unpacking, immediately reseal, or store in a

desiccator containing a desiccant.

1. Temperature Dependent Characteristics

1. The electrical characteristics of a capacitor can change

with temperature.

1-1. For capacitors having larger temperature

dependency, the capacitance may change with

temperature changes.

The following actions are recommended in order to

ensure suitable capacitance values.

(1) Select a suitable capacitance for the operating

temperature range.

(2) The capacitance may change within the rated

temperature.

When you use a high dielectric constant type

capacitor in a circuit that needs a tight (narrow)

capacitance tolerance (e.g., a time-constant

circuit), please carefully consider the temperature

characteristics, and carefully confirm the various

characteristics in actual use conditions and the

actual system.
