Avoid Unnecessary Surprises

Get the Products You Need with Complete Life Cycle Notification

As a leader in new product introductions, Mouser eliminates unwanted surprises by identifying Not Recommended for New Design (NRND) and End-of-Life components. Clearly labeling lifecycles on thousands of products helps avoid out-of-stock issues, project delays and costly redesigns caused by using old, out-of-date components – yielding a time-to-market advantage.

We handle this in several different ways:

Lifecycle Icons

Website Labeling

Website Labeling - Mouser labels the lifecycle of thousands of parts on mouser.com. An icon on the search results and product page indicates new technology, a preliminary release, not recommended for new design or end-of-life products.

Product Change Notifications

Manufacturer PCNs
