NOTES ON CORRECT USE
(1) The space between PC board and root of the lead should be kept more than 1 mm to prevent undesired stress
to the lead and also should be kept less than 4 mm to prevent undesired parasitic inductance.
Recommended that space is 2.0 to 3.0 mm typical.
(2) Recommended torque strength of the screw is 59 to 78 Ncm.
(3) Form the ground pattern as wide as possible to minimize ground impedance.
(to prevent undesired oscillation)
All the ground pins must be connected together with wide ground pattern to decrease impedance difference.

NEC Electronics products are classified into the following three quality grades: "Standard", "Special" and
"Specific".
The "Specific" quality grade applies only to NEC Electronics products developed based on a customer-
designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of an NEC
Electronics product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of
each NEC Electronics product before using it in a particular application.
"Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio
and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment
and industrial robots.
"Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support).
"Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems and medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC Electronics products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC
Electronics data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC Electronics products in applications
not intended by NEC Electronics, they must contact an NEC Electronics sales representative in advance to
determine NEC Electronics' willingness to support a given application.
