PCN #: 017412-041809
Change Title: Product Process Change
Products Affected:
Current Aavid Part Number
533802B02500
New RoHS Compliant Part Number _{533802B02500G}
Description of the Change: : In an effort to make our product line more compatible with
regulatory and environmental guidelines, we are changing the volume manufacturing process for
the above products to make them RoHS compliant with Aavid Thermalloy specification RoHS
9000. (Available at http://www.aavidthermalloy.com/RoHS.shtml ).
The current version of this product uses solderable pins that are plated with a tin-lead finish.
The RoHS compliant version will have a 100% matte tin finish per ASTM B545 wiith a nickel under-
plate barrier of 1.9 to 3.8 um. Product being built using this new plating process is identified with a
"G" suffix at the end of the part# as show above in Products Affected.
Scheduling of Change:
Sample Date: Samples are available now for customer testing.
Volume Production: Volume production will be available November 17, 2005.
New orders should be placed for the “G” suffix product. Please adjust your current orders
so that they can be filled accordingly depending upon stock and availability.
EOL of unchanged Product: Once the manufacturing process has been changed to the
RoHS compliant process, it may still be possible to manufacture products with Sn/Pb
process; however product manufactured with the Pb process require a pricing adjustment
due to cost increases associated with material and lower volume manufacture.
Customer Impact: Products with matte tin pins are backward compatible with SN/Pb solder
processes.
