1 Rated Voltage Shown in Rated value. The rated voltage is defined as the maximum voltage which may be
applied continuously to the capacitor.
When AC voltage is superimposed on DC voltage, VP-P or VO-P,
whichever is larger, should be maintained within the rated voltage
range.
2 Appearance No defects or abnormalities. Visual inspection.
3 Dimension Within the specified dimensions. Using calipers. (GRM02 size is based on Microscope)
4 Voltage proof No defects or abnormalities.

These Part Numbers are designed for use in the circuits where
continuous applied voltage to the capacitor is derated than rated
voltage, and guarantee Durability Test with 100% × rated voltage
as testing voltage at the maximumoperating temperature.
The voltage and temperature derating conditions on the left are
recommended for use to ensure the same reliability level as
These MLCC products are designed for use in devices with a typicallifetime of less than 5 years.
(Examples: Cellular phone, Smartphone, Tablet PC, Digitalcamera, Watch, Electronics dictionary,
Small-scale server, IPC-9592Bclass1 equipment, etc.)
These MLCC products are designed so that the useful lifetime can be extended longer than 5 years
under the following conditions:
「80% of the rated voltage or less, Maximumoperating temperature -20 degree Cor less」
Extended useful lifetime, under specific operating conditions, can be estimated from
the chart on the left.
※The useful lifetime is the time when cumulative failure rate becomes 1%.
※Please note that the useful lifetime data is for reference only and not guaranteed.
