Change of Appearance of RECOM Products

Dear customer,

As part of our continuous improvement process, we are making a cosmetic change to all of our plastic cased products by embossing the RECOM logo rather than simply laser printing it.

This alteration is part of our counterfeit prevention policy. The cost of new injection moulding tooling will dissuade copyists from making illegal reproduction parts, selling them under our name and damaging our reputation for quality and reliability.

There are no other changes to the products, or to the materials, construction, performance or datasheet specifications whatsoever, so no Product Change Notices will be issued.

It is not practical to switch all of our 30,000 products from the original style cases to the new anti-counterfeit designs all at once, so we will gradually switch case designs series-by-series. Once a series has been manufactured in the new case, it will not be manufactured in the standard case again, so eventually the entire portfolio (SMD, SIP3, SIP4, SIP7, SIP8, SIP12, DIP14, DIP16, DIP24, AC/DC, etc.) will be copy-protected.

During this change-over period, it is possible to receive both original and anti-counterfeit case design deliveries, but mixed shipments within a single series will be avoided. Please note that we are also taking the opportunity with the new case designs to bring our labelling into a single house style. This is also to meet new labelling standards required by the regulators.

As these changes to appearance are purely cosmetic, both original and copy-protected versions are 100% interchangeable and fully guaranteed by RECOM to be identical in performance and specifications in every aspect.
