Supporting Legacy Products
Linear Generation II products replace all existing variants, meaning you will no longer be able to order SPARTAN Linear to the existing specification (unless otherwise agreed with Raytec).
The Linear Generation II has been designed to ensure many parts are backwards compatible, and for those which are not we will ensure the supply of these will continue for a period of 10 years.
Please note – longer lead times are to be expected on legacy products.
