This package is lead-free/RoHS-compliant. The package base is copper alloy and the plating material on the leads
is 100% matte Sn annealed. It is compatible with both lead-free (maximum 260 °C reflow temperature) and tin-lead
(maximum 245 °C reflow temperature) soldering processes.
The TGV2529-SM will be marked with the “2529” designator and a lot code marked below the part designator. The
“YY” represents the last two digits of the year the part was manufactured, the “WW” is the work week, and the
“XXXX” is last 4 digits of lot number.
