What do all National Stock Number acronyms mean? ESCS has the Awnsers

Electronic Supply Chain Solutions was recently asked about National Stock Number acronyms and thought we would share what some of those letters mean.
ESCS shares this National Stock Number Glossary and takes no responcibility for its accuracy.
•AAC (Acquisition Advice Code): A table of codes and explanation of each indicating how and under what restrictions an item will be acquired. Reference: DoD 4100.39-M, Volume 10, Chapter 3, Table 58.
•Cage (Commercial and Government Entity Code): Any reference number entered into the Federal Catalog System will have a CAGE Code assigned to it prior to entering the central catalog file. The CAGE Code is a five character data element assigned to establishments which are manufacturers or have design control of items of supply procured by the Federal Government. The first and last positions of a CAGE Code will be numeric. Under certain conditions revision actions shall be initiated by DLIS: When a CAGE Code is cancelled and replaced by a code assigned to a single manufacturer; or when DLIS cannot determine, without collaboration, which items formerly manufactured by a defunct organization are now manufactured by the acquiring organization(s).
•CIIC (Controlled Inventory Item Code): A one position alphanumeric code that indicates the security classification and/or security risk or pilferage controls for storage and transportation of department of defense (DOD) assets. In accordance with NAVSUP P-485, VOLUME II, APPENDIX 9, PART D; DA PAM 708-2, TABLE 3-9; AND DOD 4100.39-M, VOLUME 10, TABLE 61. A code which delineates the specific category of required Item Management Coding (IMC). Reference: DoD 4100.39-M, Volume 10, Chapter 3, Table 137.
•Clear Text Reply: A listing of replies (data items) applicable to a requirement or group of requirements derived from a single data element. Each reply in the table is assigned a different reply code.
•CRITL Code (Criticality Code): A table of codes which indicates when an item is technically critical by reason of tolerance, fit restrictions, application, nuclear hardness properties, or other characteristics which affect identification of the item. Reference: DoD 4100.39-M, Volume 10, Chapter 3, Table 181.
•DML (Demilitarization): A table of codes instructing the user on method and degree of demilitarizing items when required. Reference: DoD 4100.39-M, Volume 10, Chapter 3, Table 38.

•ESDC (Electrostatic Discharge Code): A one position alpha code that indicates if an item is susceptible to electrostatic discharge or electromagnetic interference damage. Electrostatic discharge damage occurs when an accumulation of static electricity generated by the relative motion or separation of materials is released to another item by direct contact. Electromagnetic interference damage occurs when an item comes into proximity with an electrostatic or magnetic field. In accordance with DOD 4100.39-M, VOLUME 10, TABLE 189.
•FIIG (Federal Item Identification Guide): A guide prescribing standard requirements formats, and machine oriented coding structure for the collection of item characteristics and other item-related logistics data.
•FSC (Federal Supply Class): Permits the classification of all items of personal property used by participating activities. Groups and classes have been established for the universe of commodities with emphasis on the items known to be in the supply systems of participating activities. This classification system with its present structure of groups and classes represents those groupings and relationships which are based on current, as well as anticipated, management needs. The Federal Supply Classification structure is modified, as the needs of management change, by the addition of newly developed groups and classes, the subdivision of existing classes, and the revision of definitions of classes. The uniform Federal Supply Classification is governed by daily management requirements and provides uniform management categories throughout military activities and Civil Agency organizations, functions, operations, and supply pipelines. It permits greater uniformity within and between Military Services and Civil Agencies in the operations of reporting, accounting, financial management, inventory control, and budgeting.
•FSG (Federal Supply Group): See DRNs 3994 and 3996, volume 12.
•HCC (Hazardous Characteristics Code): A two-digit alphanumeric code developed primarily for storage purposes to assure that incompatible Hazards are not stored next to one another. The HCC that is visible in FLIS only pertains to the latest formulation for this CAGE/Part Number. User needs to be aware that additional information may reside in the Hazardous Material Information System (HMIS) for a different formulation of the same CAGE/Part Number. The technical definitions are provided in the agency and services storage manuals (DLAM 4145.11, Army TM 38-410, NAVSUP PUB 573, AFR 69-9, and MCO 4450-12. These manuals are being replaced by DoD 4145.19-R-2). See volume 10, table 214.
•HMIC (Hazardous Material Indicator Code): A code instructing the user on the type of hazardous material(s) used. A table of codes used as indicators to provide hazardous material information. Reference: DoD 4100.39-M, Volume 10, Chapter 3, Table 179.

•MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet): A five- position alphanumeric number assigned to each MSDS entry in the Hazardous Materials Information System (HMIS). User should use this number to interrogate HMIS for technical information for the items.
•NATO Stock Number: An item of supply produced by a NATO member nation other than the U.S. identified by that nation by the assignment of a NATO Stock Number (e.g., 0000-21-000-0000). When such items enter the supply system of the U.S. Government, they will be identified by the NATO Stock Number if codification agreements have been extended to provide for acquisition of foreign item identification data through DLIS. For such items, the NATO Stock Number will be used and recognized as the National Stock Number in internal management of the item in the U.S.
•NIIN (National Item Identification Number): See DRN 4000, volume 12. A nine position numeric number assigned to each approved item. It is the last nine digits of the National Stock Number.
•NIIN ASGMT (NIIN Assignment): The date the NIIN was originally assigned to an item.
•NMF DESC: A definition of a required characteristic.
•NSN (National Stock Number): For a complete description, please see "What is an NSN?"
•Part Number: A field containing the part number assigned by the manufacturer.

Part Number is also called the Reference Number.
•Phrase Statement: This field is found in the FLIS (Federal Logistics Information System) database results window in the part pricing Item tab.
•QUP (Quantity Unit Pack): A table of codes indicating the number of units of issue in the unit package as established by the managing activity. Reference: DoD 4100.39-M, Volume 10, Chapter 3, Table 56.
•Reference Number (Reference): A reference number is any number, other than an activity stock number, used to identify an item of production or, either by itself or in conjunction with other reference numbers, to identify an item of supply (when used in conjunction with the CAGE Code). Reference numbers include manufacturer’s part, drawing, model, type, source-controlling, or specification-controlling numbers and the manufacturer’s trade name, when the manufacturer identifies the item by trade name only; NATO Stock Numbers; specification or standard part, drawing, or type numbers. The submittal of all known reference numbers related to an item of production or an item of supply, with the applicable Reference Number Category Code, the applicable Document Availability Code, and the applicable Reference Number Variation Code, is mandatory.
•Related NSN: An item of supply which has functional or physical characteristics which render it a lower order of preference for use than that accorded to the Master Item of an I&S Family.
•Replacement NSN: Indicates a new NSN that has replaced, or is interchangeable from the relevant NSN. The replacement NSN is to be used when previous NSN supply has been exhausted.
•RNCC (Reference Number Category Code): A code that designates the relationship of a reference number to the item of supply. Reference: DoD 4100.39-M, Volume 10, Chapter 3, Table 6.

2014 International Electrostatic Discharge Workshop is coming to Paris

Electronic Supply Chain Solutions is proud to announce the 8th International ESD Workshop (IEW) will be held at the Grand Hotel de Paris, Villard de Lans, France. The Grand Hotel de Paris is a perfect setting for IEW 2014. The IEW will include invited seminars, technical sessions, special interest groups (SIGs), discussion groups, and invited speakers. The IEW especially invites submission of late-breaking exciting new research to stimulate discussion and interaction around new ideas, encouraging new research topics. 

 

To maintain the unique IEW experience and provide ample opportunity for informal discussions, the 2014 IEW workshop presentation format for Technical sessions will begin with each author presenting a brief summary to highlight key findings, followed by an interactive poster-based discussion session among authors and attendees. The IEW is closely aligned with the EOS/ESD Symposium for collaborative conference activities. To learn more contact ESCS at sales@ElectronicSupplyChainSolutions.com or call 727-723-8255 x 105 today

Don't miss the latest in ESD/EOS technology for Controlling ESD in Your Workplace!

ESCS recommends the 35th Annual EOS/ESD Symposium & Exhibits September 8-13, 2013 Rio All Suites, Las Vegas, NV, USA

This "Quality Lessons Learned" is your gateway to learning about the latest technical innovations in the area of ESD.  The Technical Program includes outstanding papers, including invited exchange papers, covering hot topics in the categories of Advanced CMOS, Case Studies, High Voltage and RF ESD challenges, Device Physics and Modeling, ESD EDA tools, Factory and Materials, System Level ESD and ESD testing.



Technical Sessions include Two "Year in Review" presentations that you will not want to miss!
Year in Review - EOS/Case Studies Wednesday September 11th, 8:00 a.m. - 8:40 a.m. Terry Welsher; Dangelmayer Associates L.L.C.

The class of device failures typically called Electrical Overstress (EOS) has been getting increased attention in the last two years. Historically, the effects of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) on integrated circuits, particularly handling in the factory, have received much attention in technical literature, standards bodies and educational workshops and tutorials. This has been a largely successful endeavor by the industry. As a result, in many companies EOS has become the next layer of the onion to pursue. In this talk we will review recent work in analysis of and protection from EOS failures and efforts by industry organizations to make progress on best practices and data analysis.

ESD Design/Factory Wednesday September 11th, 1:30 p.m. - 2:10 p.m. Charvaka Duvvury, TI Fellow Emeritus

The ESD technology is steadily in a state of increased knowledge as much more advanced work is carried out both in the industry investigations for new applications and in the universities with higher level of graduate research. These developments during the last year have been focused on device design, new testing techniques, and factory control. The new attention to system level ESD design through simulation techniques has also received the much needed focus. This presentation will highlight the key papers in these areas to give the attendee a succinct overview of ESD technology progress during the year 2012.
Tutorials
40 tutorials- including 10 new or revised topics. 

ESCS wants you to learn more... with nearly 50 exhibits will be present to display the latest ESD products and services.  Exhibitors will also "Showcase" ESD technologies with 10 minute presentations during technical sessions.
This very special event combines frontier research with advanced tutorials, technical presentations, exhibits of ESD control products and services, workshops, authors' corners, Program Manager and Device/Design Certification, plus iNARTE Certification, giving a maximum value-add to the attendees.
Electronic Supply Chain Solutions  knows the value of ESD protection and you should too! Contact ESCS @ 727-723-8255 to learn more!

 

CALCE To Present at the IPC Electronic Systems Technologies Conference

CALCE researchers will present three studies at the upcoming IPC Electronic Systems Technology Conference (ESTC) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first paper, "Vibration Durability of Mixed Solder Ball Grid Array Assemblies" examines the vibration durability of SAC and SnPb BGAs under harmonic vibration. This study included data for SAC305 BGAs assembled with SnPb solder and SAC105 BGAs assembled with SAC305 solder. The second paper, "Investigation of Harmonic Vibration Loading on Package on Package Assemblies," examines package-on-package (PoP) assemblies subject to harmonic vibration. In this study, the influence of the assembly process and solder composition are examined. The assembly processes was either completed with a single solder reflow or with two solder reflow process steps. Solders included SAC305, SAC125, and SAC105. Finally, Dr. Diganta Das will present his paper on “How to Improve LED Lifetime Assessment Method.” This paper will describe the IESNA standard TM-21-11, compare it with state of the art of semiconductor reliability assessment methods using physics of failure techniques.  It will show how knowledge about LED packaging and encapsulation failure mechanism can be used improve the method of reliability assessment of LEDs.  It will also show how the IESNA methodology compares with the IEEE reliability prediction framework as per IEEE 1413. In addition to the research presentations, Dr. Michael Osterman will be conducting a professional development course at IPC Electronic Systems and Technology Conference (ESTC)on May 23, 2013, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The professional development courses provide a unique opportunity for engineers, designers, and managers to get up to date on the latest techniques and information available. At IPC ESTC, Dr. Osterman will present on "Simulation Based Reliability Assessment." This course will present failure models that can be used to assess the life expectancy of electronic equipment. Analytic and finite element modeling approaches will be presented, and case studies demonstrating the approach will be provided.
