TRACO POWER TEM 3 Series
To whom it may concern
An internal key component used for TRACO POWER TEM 3 Series (legacy 3 Watt DC/DC
converter family introduced 1996) has recently become difficult to source by our factory,
causing long delays and unreliable availability.
In consequence, TRACO is forced to declare the discontinuation of TEM 3 Series.
Factory production orders for TEM 3 Series are accepted until end of December 2016.
Accordingly, c us t omers are requested to place their Las t Bu y Orders to TRACO or its
Distributors by December 15
th
, 2016.
Affected customers may perform replacement evaluation on following TRACO POWER Product
Series: TEM 3N (pin- to-pin comp a t ible with lower cost) ; TEN 3N; TEN 3WIN or products with
different output power.
We draw your express attention to the fact that the full compatibility of above replacement
models and their suitability for the specific customer application have not been checked by
TRACO and cannot be guaranteed.
The approval of the models is the sole responsibility of the customer.
The new or replacement models must therefore be checked accordingly in advance by the
customer.
We thank you for understanding and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
