Jan 25, 2019 at 9:07 comment added crasic Spot on, for the last point, jn my experience resellers (unlike distributors) will not guarantee anything beyond that it is genuine. Good ones allow you to perform due dilligence, but even with samples it is hard to tell , you can have one bad reel or tray and they've given you 5 samples off the first you would likely eat that cost. I would also request samples of each lot if there is more than one.
Jan 24, 2019 at 10:03 comment added Bimpelrekkie @Lundin I agree, although I did not mention "solderability" as such I see it as included in "functionality", if you can't solder it, it doesn't work right? Also if you can solder it but it does not work, you still have no functionality.
Jan 24, 2019 at 10:02 comment added Lundin This has to do with solderability, not with the functionality of the ICs as such.
