TS3V340: product shelf life

Part Number: TS3V340

Hi Team,

May I confirm the product shelf life of part TS3V340RGYR applies to two years? I also want to know if there is higher shelf life for parts with AEC-Q100 grade?

Regards,

Roy

  • Hi Roy,

    The product shelf life for semiconductor products is based on a number of factors, including the type of materials used in the device, manufacturing conditions, moisture sensitivity levels (MSL), the use of moisture barrier bags (MBBs) in product packaging, the amount of desiccant used and the customer storage conditions. The key factor here is the MSL rating, MSL for TS3V340RGYR is Level-2-260C-1 YEAR.

    All TI products have the same warranty, terms and conditions, quality/reliability, etc.  Effectively one year from date of delivery. We do not offer a higher shelf life for automotive grade devices.

     

    You can use these links to TI’s FAQ page on shelf life, and the Terms of Sale for Semiconductor Products for more details.

  • Dear Saminah,

    To my knowledge,  TI has a  "Shelf life part search tool", when we type a Part Number, it will shows shelf life accordingly. Could you pls share the link? Thanks. 

  • Hi Roy,

    Unfortunately we don't have that tool available now. The links I shared in my previous response  and MSL rating details on product folder would be the most helpful.

    Thanks

  • As a side note you can still can check this on your own. If you look at the label on your material, it will have a “+5” on the date code if it is part of the Extended Shelf Life program. However, it only refers to internal shelf life, and doesn’t add anything to the shelf life we guarantee after purchase.

     

    Thanks
