Bourns Sensors & Controls Product Line is announcing the end of
life for the Non-RoHS Model EN Optical Encoder. This
announcement is being prompted by vendor phase-out of cadmium
bearing resistive inks used in the design of the IRED element.
This notification affects all Non-RoHS Model EN Optical Encoder
part numbers. At this time, we are asking that customers assess
their needs for Non-RoHS part numbers and begin planning for
last time buy orders in accordance with the following dates:

Deadline for accepting final orders: June 1, 2012
Final shipments to be made by: December 15, 2012

All orders placed for Non-RoHS part numbers will be considered
NC/NR and may not be scheduled out. Last time buy orders will be
limited to stock and materials on hand.

Please contact a Mouser Technical Sales Representative for
further assistance.
