Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The lifecycle status is Active, meaning the manufacturer continues to produce this part with no announced discontinuation. For a BOM line, this removes the immediate LTB risk — no last-time-buy window to manage, no forced redesign.
What the Bulk packaging means for procurement
Bulk is typical for low-volume production runs, prototyping, or repair stock where pick-and-place is not required. If your line expects Tape & Reel for automated assembly, confirm the reel-pack variant before ordering.
