Type 5 board phase out
Posted: Sat Apr 15, 2023 2:08 pm
Hey all. We are down to our last stocks ~20 of Type 5 boards (S14 SR20DE, K11 CG10/CG13 and B13 SR20DE half size ECUs)
We have run out of current stocks of parts for these boards and have made the decision not to do a redesign and produce more PCBs since they are a niche selection of vehicles.
Note that our other boards Type 1 - Type 4 have undergone several PCB redesigns over the years due to changes in part supplies (5V to 3.3V changes, Simtek > Cypress > Infineon buyouts for NVSRAM parts changing parts each time and FTDI part changes) and supplies for this are secure for the meantime (not to say that PL has hit many hurdles along the way due to the continued supply chain crisis)
thanks
Matt
