Product Change Notice
| Effective Date | Description of Change | Download | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09/30/2026 | PCN-26-283219 - Material Change. Non-functional plating to be optimized. Functional plating (located in the interface area between pin and socket) will not be affected. Open accompanying attachment for more details regarding plating. | Download | |||
| 06/22/2026 | PCN-26-274187 - Material Change. Our plating instructions will be standardized. Gold plating will be removed from non functional areas of the contacts. Plating on the interface areas will be retained with no functional changes. Crimp barrel areas will be plated with tin if they are not currently plated with tin. This new condition does not impact performance, as it is already covered by Product Specification 108 10042 and the referenced engineering test reports within that specification. | Download | |||
| 05/11/2026 | PCN-26-278903-C - Retraction of Obsolete. Reason for Cancellation: PCNs are being cancelled and will be reconfigured before re-issuing to maintain a stratified plating offering and to minimize obsolescence of PNs. | Download | |||
| 06/12/2012 | P-12-007828 - Change the plating located in the wire crimp area of these contacts from gold flash over nickel to matte tin over nickel. The plating located on the mating end of the contacts will not change. The plating in the center of the contact between the mating end and crimp end will change from gold flash over nickel to nickel only. Following the change the contacts will continue to comply with TE product specification 108-10042. | Download | |||
