At present there are no exemptions or options for EOL parts - bottom

line was you should have redesigned like so many of us had to.



There is work in progress for an EOL exemption but is no-where near

fruition and unlikely to be by July 1.



Your only option really is to get them into product and get the product

into the EU distribution (i.e. placed on the market) before the

deadline.





Regards,

 

Chris

Subject: [LF] End of life part



I have a specific situation that I need help with and I am turning to

this group for opinions and feedback. A while back we had a part that

was going end of life but before the part went end of life we did a last

time buy. These last time buy parts are not RoHS compliant and there are

no replacement parts available. We are faced with an inventory of parts

which are non-compliant and up coming shipments to fulfill. What are my

options? Do the parts that were bought previously need to be compliant

for us to use them in hardware labeled compliant? Are there exceptions

for end of life parts or parts which do not have replacements? Are there

waivers that can be obtained  to allow parts which do not have a

replacement?



Thanks for your opinions and feedback,

Tony Cosentino
