■ Description of change

With the exception of certain products, we previously used bromine (Br) and antimony (Sb) as flame retardants in resin.
We have changed the flame retardants used in these target products to an H&A-free material that is not Br or Sb. The flame resistance grade of the resin is UL94V-0, as it was previously.
In addition, the electrical characteristics, mounting conditions, and other characteristics of the products are all equivalent to the previous products.
Reliability is also the same, and we have conducted reliability tests on typical products of each series to verify that there are no problems.
