BOURNS MODELS PM3600 AND PM3700 CHANGE IN EPOXY/CASE MATERIAL

BOURNS has announced that effective immediately the epoxy and
case material of Models PM3600 AND PM3700 will be changing.
No change in performance, form, fit, or function will be made.
Some differences in color or shade of color may be expected in
the parts.  The level of the epoxy fill in the case will be
reduced. Models PM3600 AND PM3700 will remain RoHS compliant.
No change has been made to the termination material. Please see
changes referenced below by Model number.

Models PM3602 AND PM3604: Epoxy: Substitution of a different
compound of the epoxy base.  New compound has greater adhesion
and higher moisture resistance.

Model PM3700: Epoxy: Substitution of a different compound of the
epoxy base. New compound has greater adhesion and higher
moisture resistance. Case: New case is diallyl phthalate (DAP)
material, which is more robust and has greater resistance to
moisture absorption than former case material (polyphenyl
Sulfide-PPS).

Please see below for a list of affected part numbers.
