Due to increase in energy density improvements at the factory, capacitance values have increased steadily over the course of the past two years. Rather than reduce capacitance per volume, AVX has chosen to increase our tolerance in specification for compliance. This in no way affects current inventories or prior built parts. It has been brought to our attention that some customers have noticed a slight over tolerance of initial capacitance values. This is to meet incoming inspection requirements going forward. There will be no change in part marking, existing or in the future, and all existing inventories in distribution will meet the new updated tolerances. We are increasing the bottom threshold from 20% to -10% or better.
