Note (11)

Product identified and qualified for automotive application(s). Product qualified and tested to AEC Q100. Temperature grade is noted below:

· AEC-Q100 has following Automotive Grades;

Grade 0 (or A): -40°C to +150°C ambient operating temperature range

Grade 1 (or Q): -40°C to +125°C ambient operating temperature range

Grade 2 (or T): -40°C to +105°C ambient operating temperature range

Grade 3 (or I): -40°C to +85°C ambient operating temperature range

Grade 4 (or C): -40°C to +70°C ambient operating temperature range

Typically Commercial product would align with Grade 3 and Industrial product would align with Grade 2 and Grade 0 and 1 align with automotive.

More specifically with the automotive grades Grade 0 is usually used under the hood (due to harsher ambient conditions) whereas Grade 1 is used elsewhere in the vehicle (in the cab).

Refer to the product data sheet for aumotive application, AEC qualification and grade information. Refer to the product data sheet for automotive application, AEC qualification and grade information. AEC Q101: Applies only to automotive Grade 1 (or Q): -40°C to +125°C ambient operating temperature range grade 1 product. Refer to released product data sheet. [top]

Note (20)

Halogen Free or Low: According to the industry organizations, the term low-halogen has not been clearly defined in the industry and is not a regulatory requirement in any worldwide legislation, although it is being used in the industry.

To eliminate any confusion in terms of the definition of low-halogen, IEC 61249-2-21 and JS709 standards provides a concise definition to identify passive and solid-state devices containing low concentrations of bromine and chlorine, from brominated and chlorinated flame retardants (BFRs, CFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Although the halogen group contains fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine, this document uses the term “low-halogen” to refer to only bromine and chlorine. [top]

Note (21)

Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. These chemicals can be in the products that Californians purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment.
