RoHS status — design constraint
This part is RoHS non-compliant. For designs requiring lead-free assembly or EU RoHS exemption compliance, this is a hard constraint — the part cannot be used in new products that must meet RoHS directives without an exemption. It remains suitable for repair, retrofit, and military/aerospace builds where leaded solder is still specified or exempted.
Because it is RoHS non-compliant, stock may be more common in non-RoHS inventory pools.
