e.
Title, number, and date of the specification.
PIN and compliance identification (if applicable).
Test data to be furnished.
Packaging Requirements (see A.5).
Requirement for radiation hardness assurance testing (see A.4.4.2.5 and A.4.5.6).
A.6.2.1 Lead finish designator. For Government logistic support, the A lead finish will be ordered and supplied to
the end user when X is used in place of the A, B, C, D, or E lead finish designator. If the device type is not available
with lead finish A, the same PIN will be ordered except that B, C, D, or E will be used as the lead finish designator
