PRODUCT ADVISORY NOTICE KEEPING YOU INFORMED OF PRODUCT CHANGES To: All 90 Series DIP Switch Customers, Sales Representatives and Distributors Date: July 20, 2014 Subject: Base and Cover Plastic Material Change This Product Advisory Notice is to alert you that there is a coming change to a series of Grayhill DIP switches and our records show your company has purchased one or more of the affected part numbers in the past. Please forward this notification to the appropriate person(s) in your organization. Description of the Change The thermoplastic material that is used in the base and cover piece parts is changing from 30% glass filled polyamide (PA46) to 33% glass filled polyphthalamide (PPA). Reason for Change The new material performs better than the current material in reflow process applications where more demanding process temperatures as used. The new material also improves the tape seal adhesion to the switches by virtue of being less susceptible to moisture absorption during processing or storage. The new material has the added benefit of being Halogen Free and of meeting all current RoHS and REACH requirements. Effective Date All two through eight position 90 Series DIP switches manufactured after August 30th (date code 1436 or later) may be built with either PA46 or PPA.
