Can I Continue to Buy Product with the Old SnPb Lead Finish After the Conversion Date?
Customers may continue to buy products that have not been “converted” subject to availability in either format, with SnPb Lead Finish or Lead Free. If other products are converted, advanced notification will be given. Should a major customer require product with SnPb plating after a general product conversion, a Customer Special Part Number may have to be generated. The length of time the old product will remain available to you will be by special agreement. (Pricing may then be reviewed.) A Lifetime buy may be offered on a package / Customer basis. Green molding compound changes are by date code. Once stock is exhausted, the device will not be available in the old compound even if SnPb finish.
