If you have not registered for cFolders and wish to download RFQ tech data, please visit the cFolders section of this Support Documentation.

TDP files are generally only in PDF or C4 (JEDMICS) format. It is likely that you have a reader that will open PDF files. It is unlikely that you have a C4 reader. It is critical that you can open and view C4 files. There are at least two options for this utility. See our C4 Reader Guide for instructions and details.
