Lifecycle and sourcing reality
It is RoHS non-compliant, so verify your assembly line's solder requirements before committing the BOM line. For a legacy LS part, active status is a practical advantage — you are not chasing last-time-buy windows or surplus lots for routine production.
Package and handling note
That suits manual insertion, prototyping, or low-volume builds where pick-and-place is not required. If your line expects reeled parts for automated assembly, confirm the packaging variant before ordering.
