Active telecom circuit in PQCC28 — what to know before you place it
The DP83222V is a telecom circuit from Texas Instruments, supplied in a 28-lead PQCC (plastic leaded chip carrier) package. The package is Bulk delivery, not tape-and-reel, so plan for manual or tube-fed placement rather than a standard reel feeder on the pick-and-place line.
RoHS status — leaded solder only
The DP83222V is RoHS non-compliant. This means the part uses lead-bearing solder or plating — it is not exempt under the standard RoHS categories. If your assembly line runs only lead-free reflow profiles, this part will not survive the oven without a process waiver or a dedicated leaded-solder zone. A popcorn event in a PQCC cracks the plastic body and lifts the leads.
Sourcing and fit — what the BOM engineer needs
If you need a pin-compatible alternative, the PQCC28 footprint is a standard JEDEC outline — but the electrical compatibility is unverified.
