b) If a load is applied to the entire surface by a hard component, bending stress may be generated and the
package may fracture, etc., depending on the flatness of the bottom of the package. Therefore, for
installation, use either an elastic load, such as a spring plate, or an adhesive.
c) The adhesive may cause the marking on the rear surface to disappear, especially in case the regulated
voltage value is indicated on the rear surface. Therefore, the adhesive should not be applied to this area,
and indicated values should be transferred to the other locations as a precaution.
d) The notch of the package is used for directional index, and that can not be used for reference of fixing.
In addition, the cover glass and seal resin may overlap with the notch of the package.
e) If the lead bend repeatedly and the metal, etc., clash or rub against the package, the dust may be
generated by the fragments of resin.
f) Acrylate anaerobic adhesives are generally used to attach CCD image sensors. In addition, cyano-acrylate
instantaneous adhesives are sometimes used jointly with acrylate anaerobic adhesives. (reference)

a) Do not expose to strong light (sun rays) for long periods, color filters will be discolored. When high
luminance objects are imaged with the exposure level control by electronic-iris, the luminance of the
image-plane may become excessive and discolor of the color filter will possibly be accelerated. In such
a case, it is advisable that taking-lens with the automatic-iris and closing of the shutter during the power-
off mode should be properly arranged. For continuous using under cruel condition exceeding the normal
using condition, consult our company.
b) Exposure to high temperature or humidity will affect the characteristics. Accordingly avoid storage or
usage in such conditions.
c) The brown stain may be seen on the bottom or side of the package. But this does not affect the CCD
characteristics.
d) This package has 2 kinds of internal structure. However, their package outline, optical size, and strength
are the same.
