Package and handling
This device ships in Bulk packaging, meaning loose units in an anti-static bag or tube — not Tape & Reel. For a rework bench or prototype run, Bulk is the natural fit; for high-volume pick-and-place, you will need to arrange manual loading or request an alternate packaging variant. The metal can (TO-5 style) package is hermetic, rated for the moisture sensitivity level typical of sealed-cavity devices, so no baking is required before reflow if stored properly.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The LM111H/883 is listed as Active in production, so it remains a valid choice for new designs and ongoing production. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is in effect. Sourcing is through the independent distribution channel — we quote this part to order against an RFQ, with current availability and pricing confirmed at the time of quotation. For volume commitments or scheduled releases, a call to verify lead time is recommended, but the part is not a surplus-only scavenge.
