Important Notice 

Please read and understand the following items, "Restriction", and "Caution" before using the evaluation board: 

 
 

Restriction 

  The evaluation board is intended for use as engineering development, verification or evaluation purposes 

only.  

  This evaluation board is not intended for a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. 

  Do not operate in condition other than the recommended settings. 

  The  evaluation  board  must  be  used  only  by  qualified  engineers  and  technicians  that  have  electronics 

training, familiar  with handling  of high-voltage electrical systems and observe good engineering practise 
standards. 

  The evaluation board is meant to be operated in lab environment under the safe conditions.  

  Please use a protective case (accessory) during evaluation. 

  All of the specifications and evaluation data in this manual are for reference only and not guaranteed. The 

information may subject to change without notice. Please contact to Panasonic representative for the latest 
information. 

  The  user  assumes  all  responsibility  and  liability  for  proper  and  safe  handling  of  this  evaluation  board. 

Further, the user indemnifies Panasonic from all claims arising from the handling or use of the evaluation 
boards. 

  The technical information described in this document is intended only to show the main characteristics and 

application circuit examples of the products. No license is granted in and to any intellectual property right 
or  other  right  owned  by  Panasonic  Corporation  or  any  other  company.  Therefore,  no  responsibility  is 
assumed by our company as to the infringement upon any such right owned by any other company which 
may arise as a result of the use of technical information described in this document. 

 

 

Caution 

 

  The evaluation board carries hazardous high voltage. Do not touch when power is applied. Otherwise, it 

may cause severe injury, disability or death. 

  Electric charge may be accumulated in the capacitors. To prevent electrical shock, please ensure all the 

capacitors are properly discharged before touching the evaluation board.  

 

It  is  the  user’s  responsibility  to  confirm  that  the  voltages,  isolation  requirements,  and  rated  value  are 
identified and understood, prior to handling the evaluation board. 

  Do not leave the evaluation board unattended while power is applied and do not perform other activity near 

the evaluation board while power is applied.

 

  This board contains parts that are susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD).

 

It is the user’s 

responsibility to take any and all appropriate precautions with regard to electrostatic discharge when using 
the evaluation board.

 

  Should the evaluation board does not meet the specification indicated in the application note, the board 

may  be  exchanged  with  a  new  one  within  30  days  from  the  date  of  delivery.  When  exchanging  the 
evaluation board, please return the board with all items included. 

  The warranty on this evaluation board is considered void once a part on the board is removed or modified.  

  The evaluation board does not fall within the scope of the technical requirements of the following directives 

or other related directives: 

- Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) 
- Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) 
- Mandatory conformity marking for products sold in the European Economic Area (CE) 
- Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 
- Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL)
