Date Code Identification

The activities of Standardization Committees have positively influenced the Electronics Industry in many areas, however the production date coding of electronic components has still no unified format. Depending on the packaging, device size, product type, manufacturing country, producing factory and subsidiaries, date code formats vary significantly by supplier or even within suppliers.

On the basis of supplier information and own investigations Avnet Logistics has compiled date code keys to help to identify date codes of products distributed by Avnet EM EMEA.
