Maxim offers two lead-finish (SnPb) options to mil/aero customers who require lead-finished products instead of the standard RoHS-compliant (lead-free) COTS parts. These special programs, one for low volumes and another for high volumes, apply to virtually any Maxim COTS plastic part.
Low-Volume Lead-Finish Program
This program works as follows:
Only a low minimum order quantity (MOQ) is required (50 parts)
Matte tin (Sn) finished COTS parts are taken from lead-free inventory and refinished with a 63/37 SnPb hot-solder dip
These lead-refinished products are marked with orange epoxy dot per GEIA-STD-0006
All parts are fully tested using the original QCI test program
XRF data is available upon request (shows that the original matte tin finish is gone and thus can no longer create tin whiskers)
Maxim warranty applies
Part number suffix: /GG8

Maxim's Mil/Aero group offers a hot-solder refinish for small quantities of parts.
High-Volume Lead-Finish Program
This program works as follows:
MOQ is a function of the number of die on a wafer
Product wafers from wafer inventory are processed on the original lead flow using 85/15 SnPb electroplate
Part is marked as the original leaded part (no orange dot and no "+" mark)
Parts are fully tested using the original QCI test program
Part number suffix: /GH9
