Hi Engineer,

I purchased the part of LP2950CZ-3.3/NOPB, and the date code of the parts is 1832+5.

Could you suggest whether the parts can be used with the date code more than 5 years?

Thanks,

Suri

Hi Suri,

As long the part is stored in the right conditions (it ships in the right conditions as well) the shelf life should be indefinite and it is therefore okay to use parts with a date code more than 5 years,
