Some components change part number due to the LF conversion, but some do
not. If you can use the LF part, and you need to decide that based upon
your own internal constraints, you may need to look for the LF part
number, which may be easier to get.

Subject: [TN] part availability

I am looking for information and articles about component
availabilities.  We are having trouble finding stock for many
components, we believe, due to the rohs switch over.  Our engineer seems
to think the fabricators availability information is not accurate.  Is
anyone else having trouble with this?

What are all of you doing during engineering to ensure parts are
available when going out for prototype or production runs?

One of our added challenges is that our runs are extremely small and
part minimums can be an issue.
