Avionics Interfaces - End-of-Life Products
What is an End-of-Life Product?
A product in the "End-of-Life" lifecycle stage is one that is no longer in active production. It should not be specified for new programs. Products in this stage may still be able to be manufactured, but parts are likely not in inventory, so lead times will likely be greatly extended. Also, repair options may be limited. A product in the "Production" lifecycle stage should be specified for all new applications.
If a "possible replacement" is not suggested for a product below, please contact Astronics AES for further assistance.
Note that beginning in 2022, this category title changed from 'Obsolete' to 'End-of-Life' to better conform to prevailing industry standards.
