Announcement of Changes to Inner Box Markings and Pin Plating Associated with
Switching to Lead-Free Specifications for IC Pins
(Products Affected: BIP Through Hole Devices)
Thank you for your continued use of our semiconductor products.
Please note that, as captioned above, SANYO is making the following changes.
Please make a note of this if you use these or related products.
1. Changes
(1) The plating material used on the IC pins has been changed from SnPb plating to a SnBi (1 to 4% Bi by weight)
material.
(2) The words "LEAD FREE" have been added to the markings on the inner box (packing case) and the suffix "-E" has
been added to the product number. (See the following page.)
2. Affected Products
See the BIP Trough Hole Devices table.
3. Reason
The SANYO Electric Group has established the "Action E21"environmental action plan to work together for con-
tinued improvement in SANYO's environmental performance. As part of these activities, SANYO Electric Semi-
conductor Company is progressing with its plan to eliminate all lead from lead pins by the end of 2005.
To move forward with its efforts, SANYO is informing its customers of these changes in devices for which lead-free
specification environments (development of manufacturing locations for mass-production and achievement of
required heat resistance characteristics) are already in place.
Changes only affect the material of lead pin plating for the targeted products. Therefore, the affected products will
not experience any deviation electrically or in terms of their reliability. Furthermore, these changes will not affect
current mounting processes used by customers. Device specifications fully support conversion of customer’s existing
manufacturing lines to lead-free lines.
4. Implementation data
Shipment of lead-free products will begin starting November, 2005. The change will be applied sequentially to differ-
ent products. The exact date of the start of shipments may be slightly delayed because of stock conditions for some of
the products. Please contact your SANYO sales representative if you have any questions or require more detailed
information regarding this change.
