Are You Overthinking Semiconductor Date Codes?

When semiconductor date codes were implemented back in the 1960s, the goal was to maintain the traceability of parts, based on manufacturing or seal dates, processes, and bill of materials, as well as a 2-to-3-year “sell-by” date. Historically, it was believed that components were no longer usable post their listed date codes. However, date codes are no longer a reliable indicator of the quality of components and may prevent the use of perfectly viable components. Watch now to learn why general date code restrictions for components are becoming obsolete.
