Dear,
My apologies for late reply.
After I conveyed your sophisticated comment to a maker, Analog devices, they inform that even though they can supply this part in TRAY, but the part number is different from the one we use, and the thing is that part number has not been registered to AIS Global Code system yet. To be able to put this part into the production, we have to spend time requesting the maker for a corresponding spec sheet to register this new number, as well as revising and preparing new Design review documents. We would say changing a packing method is technically possible, but we seriously worry about the time constraint.
However, C1AB00003775 is not new for AIS company, as you may know it is a common part used by Matsumoto factory, and they might previously encounter the similar problem and perhaps have come up with some setting techniques. So, first of all, pls contact them whether they have got some helpful advice. If not, we will try to figure out other options.
Pls feel free to let us know if you have other comments/issues.
