Hi,
We have just bought 1000 pcs of this IC. They were made in a Malaysia factory with seal date 05.24.18. MSL 2 is the code, we received these unsealed, when where they opened ? The production code for these is "85Z04NV". "85" is date code, May 2018. But what about the rest ?
We have earlier tried to unrole a whole roll of ic's and seen that the production code changes inside the roll, not the first two digits indicating year and month but one of the following digits, therefore the question.
We have previously purchased this IC in whole rolls, rolls made in Malaysia and rolls made in Taiwan. There is a huge difference in the appearance of the ICs. The ICs from Taiwan have a pin 1 dot in the molding and the printed text includes a Texax logo, the IC's from Malaysia has not. Why this difference ?
Thanks.
With best regards
