CAT16-2000F4LF

                        
Bourns, Inc. has added a second manufacturing location for its
Model CAT16 chip arrays.  Both locations use similar
manufacturing processes.  Also, the standard part number
CAT16-xxxJx with the addition of a "Z1" suffix (CAT16-xxxJxZ1)
is now assigned to CAT16 units manufactured with palladium in
the termination.  Units containing palladium in the termination
have been shown to have a smaller shift (1 % maximum) in total
resistance (TR) after exposure to a 4-5 ppm concentration of H2S
for 250 hours.  If a smaller shift in TR after exposure to H2S
is not a required feature for your application, you should
continue to order the standard part number without a "Z1"
suffix.  The data sheet for Model CAT16 will not be changed to
reflect the small TR shift characteristic in the models
containing palladium because the CAT16-xxxJxZ1 units are
considered custom (non-standard) units.
