General Description of ChangesValued customer, with this product change notification, we want to inform you, that for our connectors with part numbers listed below, we will expand the supply chain of the raw material of contacts, shieldings and solder clips to a second raw material supplier. The serial production shall start in June 2025. The second source material will be operated without part number change, will increase reliability of supply chain and has no impact on form, fit or function of these products. Internal product and process approval process will be performed. The expansion to a secound source enables TE to increase the flexibility and reliability of the supply chain.Reason for Changes:Second source for raw material
General Description of Changes:Valued customer, Due to Force Majeur declaration of one of our major plating suppliers, we must release multiple alternative plating locations and suppliers to avoid potential delivery disruptions. In the attachment you will find further information. We hereby inform you about alternative suppliers and insourcing into our internal plating facility. We will move forward with fast track production release for the metal contacts being used as components in our connectors. Supplier and in-house plating have already confirmed the technical feasibility via sample trials or via previous series production releases. The new plating supplier (internal/external) will perform the standard control and quality measures which are performed on individual production batches, which are obligatory to comply with our internal series production and our product specification. - Thickness measurements - optical, dimensional and adhesion tests Minor optical difference may be possible due to different tooling All other process steps during the manufacturing of our products will remain according to our existing releases. The alternative plating supply chain does not change fit, form or function of the product but implies a manufacturing location change. VDA would demand the inspections to be done on the finished goods for a manufacturing location change, due to critical timing we must deviate from this and perform inspections before final assembly of connectors. If you as a customer cannot accept this internal approval process, please raise your concerns immediately. In case we do not receive any information from you till July 5th 2024 we understand this as an approval and can continue to ship products independently of the plating location. TE will proactively contact its main first tier customers who own the product design and integration for deviation approvals prior to shipment. For more information please contact your TE sales or customer service representative. Inspection documentation from alternative suppliers may be shared on request. Background on the insourcing of product to our Adelberg plating facility. For our connectors listed below, we will expand the supply chain of the plated contacts by insourcing this process into our new in-house plating facility in Adelberg in addition to our current plating suppliers. The internal serial production shall start in 2024. Affected Article Numbers and approximate/target effective date you can find in the table below. The insourcing will be operated without part number change, will increase reliability of supply chain, and has no impact on form, fit or function of these products. Background and motivation: With the acquisition of ERNI in September 2021, TE Connectivity decided to invest into a new 3.600 m2 building and plating lines on the properties of the ERNI plant in Adelberg, Germany. The facility expansion enables ERNI to enhance technical capabilities and increase the flexibility and reliability of the supply chain: - Improvement of innovation and optimization capability through proximity to product & process development - Increased capacity & flexibility as well as shortening of lead times through significantly reduced transport routes and the ability to react faster & consistently to changes in the supply chain - Direct influence on product quality and short control loops in close cooperation with quality, stamping and final assembly department on site.Reason for Changes:Manufacturing location change
