UA1000 Family Lifecycle Transition
Astronics Ballard Technology have recently received a notification that a key component used on all UA1xxx USB Adapter products will be discontinued. Astronics will be participating in a Last Time Buy to fulfill forecasted demand for the UA1xxx through Q1 2026.
Accordingly, The Lifecycle Transition Plan for all part numbers in the UA1xxx product family of USB 2.0 based adapters will begin immediately. This change is part of Astronics ongoing product lifecycle planning process for the UA1xxx product line that began to take effect with the introduction of the Ballard UA2000 Series back in August 2020. The UA2000 Series is the migration path for the UA1xxx models and is a Form, Fit, and Function replacement. The new design of the UA2000 Series will provide long-term manufacturability of the product and the SuperSpeed USB 3.1 interface ensures compatibility with new and future computing devices. With the impending release of the UA2000 Multi-Protocol models by the end of this year, all UA1xxx models will have direct replacements available.

This is intentional process that provides ample time for transition. In the interim, the UA1xxx products will continue in standard production and support, including repair. Additional notices will be provided regarding the Last Time Buy opportunity.
