Product Change Notification

PCN #: 017803-042600
Change Title: Product Process Change
Products Affected:
Current Aavid Part Number
371824B00032
New RoHS Compliant Part Number _{371824B00032G}
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
our products to make them RoHS compliant according to Aavid Thermalloy specification RoHS
9000. (Available at http://www.aavidthermalloy.com/RoHS.shtml ).
The current version of this product uses a non-RoHS compliant thermal interface material.
Aavid has substituted an RoHS compliant material from the same vendor with equivalent thermal
properties. Product built using this new material is identified with a "G" suffix at the end of the part
number as shown above in Products Affected.
Scheduling of Change:
Sample Date: Please contact your local sales representative for sample availability.
Volume Production: Volume production will be available November 19, 2005.
New orders should be p laced 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 manufacturing has been converted to the RoHS
compliant process, it may still be possible to manufacture products with non-compliant
materials. However, products manufactured with non-compliant materials may require a
pricing adjustment due to the cost increases associated with lower volume manufacturing.
Customer Impact: This new thermal interface material exhibits the same thermal characteristics,
which should result in equivalent performance of the heatsink.
