Hello All,

I am extremely new when it comes to ordering electronic components. I just started a new role with a company that designs medical devices. One question that has come up and no one seems to have an answer for is the meaning of all the fields on the DigiKey labels that come adhered to each bag on an order.

We’re specifically wondering if the labels contain lot numbers for DigiKey or lot numbers for the component manufacturer? If not, are we able to acquire the lot numbers from DigiKey?

However it would still be good to know what all the fields are. Some are pretty self explanatory, but what are the fields below?

Part ID:
Load ID:
L/C:
SRC:
SO#:
D/C:

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

Part ID: is the manufacturer part number
Load ID: is a DigiKey internal marking
L/C: is the Lot Code for that specific part
SO#: is your sales order number
D/C: is Date Code for that specific part

@Rachel_Thompson Thank you so much for the reply. Is the Lot Code a a number for DigiKey or a lot number from the Manufacturer?

Thanks again!

Not a problem! The Date and Lot codes are from the manufacturer. These numbers are used to identify when the component is being manufactured.

@Rachel_Thompson You are awesome, that is exactly what I was needing.

How about the code “SRC”. Thank you

Hello @r.r,

The “SRC” in the bottom right corner calls out the bin location of the product in our warehouse. Items can be stored in different places and also product is moved around quite a bit so it won’t be uncommon to see a variety of different values in that field.

Also, we just built a new facility that leverages an improved order fulfillment system. The labels coming from the new warehouse will look different than our traditional pick labels. You can see more on that here: New Labels on Product. There is also an opportunity to provide feedback on the new labels.

Thanks,
Linzee
