Lifecycle and compliance — what it means for your BOM
No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is in effect. The part is RoHS non-compliant, which is a hard constraint for designs that require lead-free assembly per EU directives or corporate environmental policies. For RoHS-mandated BOMs, this part cannot be used without an exemption or a waiver; for legacy or exempted equipment (military, aerospace, some industrial), the non-compliant status is often acceptable and may even be preferred for solder-joint reliability in high-vibration environments.
