Bourns Manufacturers Representatives Corporate Distributor Product Managers Americas Sales Team Asia Sales Team Europe Sales Team Bourns® ESD & EMI Filter Products End of Life Riverside, California - August 13, 2007 - Bourns Inc. has promoted and supported ESD & EMI filter products to the portable electronics market for over 10 years. During the past 2 years, there has been a distinct technology trend in component packaging towards wire bond plastic mold packaging and away from wafer level Chip Scale Packaging for manufacturing reasons. With a current lack of any mass production orders or sample orders for the ESD & EMI filters using Chip Scale Packaging, Bourns will cease to support these products immediately. The affected 26 part numbers are as follows: 2DAA-F6R 2DAB-F6R 2DAC-C16R 2DAD-C5R 2DAA-F6RLF 2DAB-F6RLF 2DAC-C16RLF 2DAD-C5RLF 2FAD-C20R 2FAE-C15R 2FAF-C10R 2FAG-C15R 2FAH-C20R 2FAK-C15R 2FAM-C5R 2FAN-C5R 2FAD-C20RLF 2FAE-C15RLF 2FAF-C10RLF 2FAG-C15RLF 2FAH-C20RLF 2FAK-C15RLF 2FAM-C5RLF 2FAM-C5RLF It is not envisaged that this will cause any negative perception issues in the field as little or no business exists for these part numbers and there is minimal excess or exposed inventory.
