18、n in module packages and constructional features that are pertinent to that performance. 1.4 These requirements apply to isolated semiconductors for use as components in products. Compliance of an isolated semiconductor with these requirements does not determine that the semiconductor is acceptable

19、for use as a component of an end product without further investigation. The acceptability of a semiconductor in any particular product depends upon its acceptability for continued use under the conditions that prevail in actual service. 2 Components 2.1 Except as indicated in 2.2, a component of a p

20、roduct covered by this Standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A, for a list of standards covering components generally used in the products covered by this Standard. 2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature

21、or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.4 Specic components are inc

22、omplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions.
