Package and mounting — 10-LGA land-grid array
The MAX31329ELB+ comes in a 10-pin LGA package (5x5 mm body, supplier device package 10-LGA). It is a surface-mount land-grid array — no leads, just pads on the bottom. The board footprint is compact, but rework requires a hot-air station or reflow oven; hand-soldering is not practical. The -40°C to 85°C operating temperature covers industrial environments: outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor PLCs, and HVAC controllers.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX31329ELB+ is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is listed. No direct second-source or pin-compatible alternate is listed in the official cross-reference.
