Caution : When the specific application is only for mobile devices<MLCC>

Mobile
Only for Mobile devices

Mobile application specific MLCC (products with specific applications only for mobile devices)
These MLCC products are designed for use in devices with a typical lifetime of less than 5 years.
(Examples: Cellular phone, Smartphone, Tablet PC, Digital camera, Watch, Electronics dictionary, Small-scale server, IPC-9592B class1 equipment, etc. )

Mobile application specific MLCC products are designed so that the estimated useful life can be extended longer than 5 years under the following conditions:
「80% of the rated voltage or less, Maximum operating temperature -20 degree C or less」 (10 years or more for general-purpose MLCC products). The estimated useful life under actual operating conditions can be approximated from the following chart.

* The estimated useful life is the time when the cumulative failure rate of continuous use is 1%.
* The estimated useful life data is provided for reference only. Please use it as a rough estimate when designing and using devices. The data is not intended as a guarantee of the product lifetime.
* If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Lifetime of MLCC can also be estimated from voltage acceleration and temperature acceleration factors.
Please refer to following URL about these lifetime estimation.
