|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09/30/2021 | PCN21082 - Documentation Change. Customer drawings of Header / Male connectors are revised to include the code “L” in the connector part number nomenclature. The product part number in the current customer drawings is not provided with the code for lube option. By including the code “L” (Code “L” represents usage of lubed contacts in the connector), in the part numbers of the revised drawings, we intend to provide more clarity in the product customer drawing on the lube option. | Download | |||
| 05/31/2020 | PCN20012 - Material Change. We propose to add GXT+ as approved plating material for Material meeting the product performance specifications. There is no change to the existing plating location nor to the part numbers. | Download | |||
| 05/31/2020 | PCN20012R1 - Revision of PCN20012 & GXT+ part numbers provided. New Part numbers are with GXT+ plating option. Old part numbers are available, but at a higher price. Part numbers that were removed were not affected by this PCN. They remain valid to order. | Download | |||
| 10/31/2019 | PCN-19080 - Design Change. | Download | |||
| 07/01/2016 | PCN16053 - Design Change. Introduction of alternate BOM for housing part used in assembly of Single Module Metral Vertical Connectors. New housing mould introduced for production flexibility and to improve delivery. | Download | |||
| 06/30/2015 | PCN15003 - Manufacturing location change from FCI Dongguan, PRC to FCI Cochin, India. | Download | |||
| 04/15/2015 | PCN14100-CANCEL - Cancelled. PCN with original issue date of November 14, 2014 is hereby cancelled. | Download | |||
| 02/28/2015 | PCN14100 - Materials Change. We are using E130i resin material for the moulding of the Metral product. We propose to use equivalent material supplied by local suppliers (PRET LCP KG300-130 and KINGFA LCP Vicryst R830 ) as an alternate to the existing material. Qualification testing confirm that all these materials have comparable performances. But there could be minor colour differences as these are supplied from different suppliers. Except for this, there is no other impact to the products form, fit and function. | Download | |||
