Product Change Notification

PCN #: 017809-042606
Change Title: Product Process Change
Products Affected:
Current Aavid Part Number
375224B00032
New RoHS Compliant Part Number _{375224B00032G}
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 a non-RoHS compliant thermal interface material.
Aavid has substituted an RoHS compliant material from the same vendor with equivalent thermal
properties. Product being built using this new material 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 18, 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 manufacturing has been converted to the RoHS
compliant material, it may still be possible to manufacture products with non-compliant
materials. However, products manufactured with non-compliant 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.
Qualification Results: For an Aavid Thermalloy solderability qualification report visit our RoHS
website. http://www.aavidthermalloy.com/RoHS.shtml
