RS-232 transceiver – active, Bulk package, RoHS non-compliant
The MAX237MRG is an RS-232 driver/receiver from Analog Devices, listed as active in production. RoHS non-compliant: this part contains lead (Pb) above the exemption threshold. If your BOM requires RoHS compliance, you will need an exemption letter or a leaded-process waiver. Confirm with your quality team before committing the line.
Active lifecycle – no end-of-life notice on record
The series field is not populated on this record, so cross-referencing to a specific family prefix is not possible from this data. Confirm the exact die revision or date code with the datasheet if you are matching an existing qualification.
BOM compliance – RoHS non-compliant, Bulk delivery
The RoHS non-compliant status is the primary BOM risk. If your assembly house runs a lead-free reflow profile, this part requires a separate leaded solder process or hand-soldering. Plan for a segregated assembly step or a compliance exemption. For high-volume lines that expect tape-and-reel, factor in a tube-to-reel transfer step or order a different package variant if one exists in the family.
