Extension
(the validity date of the certificate is extended, and the scope is not changed, which means no new components are included):
- Certificates 73T and 190P from STM (France). These certificates list Digital CMOS Logic Microcircuits based on 4000B, 54HC, and 54HCT series.
- Certificate 331C from Kyocera AVX (Northern Ireland) lists Base Metal Electrode (BME) Ceramic Capacitors included in the detailed specification ESCC 3009/041.
Removal:
- Certificate 340A from Cobham Microwave (France). This certificate listed Ka-Band Low Power Isolators and Circulators with SMA2.9 Coaxial Connectors included in the detail specification ESCC 3202/026. The removal is due to low sales volume and a change in production location.
