RoHS status — a sourcing gate
The MAX9489ETJ is RoHS non-compliant. If your assembly line or end-market requires RoHS compliance (EU, California, etc.), this part will not pass. For legacy or exempt military/aerospace builds where leaded solder is still permitted, it remains a valid choice. Confirm your exemption or waiver before committing the BOM.
For a BOM freeze, this part carries no LTB or PCN risk today.
