Revision  
Type of Notification   FINAL PRODUCT/PROCESS CHANGE NOTIFICATION
Change Title   Change of LF material associated w/ heavy snow damage at Furukawa Electric Co. Ltd. Nikko Plant
Issue Date   2014-04-09
Affected Product Family  
Description   Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd.(Nikko plant), the supplier of raw material (Copper alloy) for many of our lead frames experienced severe damage to their Nikko factory due to extremely heavy snow in mid February. We sincerely apologize to you for the inconvenience encountered due to this unexpected damage. While we are still negotiating with Furukawa Electric for purchasing the needed material, it now appears that recovery will take longer than expected and our current inventory of finished lead frames may not be able to bridge the gap until full production resumes at the Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. Nikko plant. In response to this issue, we would like to communicate our strategy and plans towards ensuring uninterrupted product delivery by using alternative lead frame material (alternative Copper alloy with minor composition change). We have decided to adopt an alternative lead frame material for affected products only during a period (supposing less than one month) until original materials being available to avoid any delivery shortage of affected products to customer. Our alternative product delivery implementation plan should be communicated to you by our sales representative immediately. We are now focusing on maintaining product delivery as our utmost priority so that our customers will not experience delivery inconveniences. Additionally we have been, and will continue to make our best efforts to ramp up alternate products as quickly as we can. This letter will serve as our ‘Product Change Notice’ with respect to the events at Furukawa heavy snow damage.
