Active production, RoHS non-compliant — what that means for a BOM line
The IH5341IJD: RoHS non-compliant status means the part contains lead and other restricted substances above the RoHS exemption thresholds. For designs that require RoHS compliance, this part cannot be used unless an exemption applies (e.g., military, aerospace, or medical equipment with a regulatory waiver).
Bulk package — what it tells you about the supply format
Shipped in bulk (tube or tray), not tape-and-reel. This is the standard delivery format for through-hole or large-package ICs that do not run on a pick-and-place line. If your assembly line expects reeled parts, you will need to hand-place or source an alternate packaging option — but for prototyping, repair, or low-volume production, bulk is the expected format.
