What to check in this category

Samtec part numbers encode plating option, and plating is exactly what changes the substance answer. The same connector body ordered with a different gold thickness or a tin finish produces a different declaration. Record the full option string, because purchasing systems frequently truncate it and the truncated code will not retrieve a document.

What a usable declaration contains

The exact part number or article range covered.
The issue date of the document.
The regulation revision referenced.
Any exemptions claimed, by number.
SVHC content stated against the 0.1% by weight threshold.
A named signatory.
