• A product revision that differs slightly from the delivered item.

Where marking, dimensions, Package, Date Code or packaging are critical, customers should request confirmation before ordering.

5. Datasheets & Technical Documents

Datasheets, drawings, application notes and other technical materials may remain the intellectual property of their respective manufacturers or rights holders.

Before approving a component for use, users should verify:

• Document Revision.
• Manufacturer Part Number.
