When semiconductor date codes were implemented in the 1960s, the goal was to maintain traceability of parts based on manufacturing or seal dates, processes, and bill of materials, as well as a two- to three-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 reliable indicators of component quality and may preclude the use of perfectly viable components.

Multiple industry leaders have addressed the challenge of maintaining a supply of long-lifecycle components. Here’s what years of diligent research and testing had shown about long-term storage.
