Handbook for Substitution/Supersession Listing of Microcircuits FSC: 5962

This handbook establishes substitution lists for microcircuits used in the manufacture and support of military equipment. This document reflects the OEM’s and the Department of Defense's (DoD’s) determination of substitutability and may be used on production contracts, follow-on contracts, production modifications, logistic support, etc., after parts control procedures (if required) have been followed. The standard military devices, JAN and SMD, listed herein are declared to be substitutable with the corresponding existing contractor or OEM source or specification control drawing (SCD) and the corresponding generic numbers. Program offices and users substituting devices from this list are advised to have their engineering staffs ensure the substitution is appropriate to the specific system or piece of equipment. These organizations are responsible for device performance/reliability verification, and must assume production and operational risks resulting from the substitution. This handbook also establishes supersession lists for microcircuits used in the manufacture and support of military eguipment and documented on a SMD. Use of these lists is unlimited.
