EOL means end of life. In electronics, it usually indicates that a manufacturer has announced the end of production or the final phase of a product lifecycle. Obsolete generally describes a part that is no longer available through normal production channels. NRND, or not recommended for new designs, is a different lifecycle status.nnEOL sourcing should consider exact part number, quantity, condition, source information, packaging, traceability and any inspection or testing requirements.
