Product Change Notification
PCN Publish Date:
March 10, 2006
PCN #: 018414-043221
Change Title: Product Process Change
Products Affected:
Current Aavid Part Number
579103C00000
New RoHS Compliant Part Number 579103V00000G
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 finish that contains hexavalent chromate. The
RoHS compliant version will be finished using AavShield3. Product finished with AavShield3 is
designated with a finish code "V" in the 7th position of the part number. Aavid Thermalloy also
designates RoHS compliant product with a "G" suffix.
Scheduling of Change:
Sample Date: Please contact your local sales representative for sample availability.
Volume Production: Volume production will be available April 09, 2006.
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 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: Products finished with AavShield3 will be clear in color and have less corrosion
protection than the previous hex-chrome finish. A datasheet for AavShield3 is available from our
website at http://www.aavidthermalloy.com/products/options/finishes.shtml
