Common use of SUBASSEMBLY Clause in Contracts

SUBASSEMBLY. (PPID) LABEL CONTENT Subassemblies (see Scope for commodities specified as subassemblies) shall be labeled with one of the following three types of barcode labels as indicated in the DELL Specification Control Drawings. The Label Type must be assigned by DELL Procurement Group for all parts. Every label must fit on the part without affecting functionality or cosmetically mar the look of the finished DELL product (see below for detail technical specifications). TYPE A LABEL This barcode label will be applied to most parts on label stock 2.0 inches (50.8 mm) wide by .5 inch (12.7 mm) high using a wide to narrow element ratio of 3 to 1. The narrow element must be a minimum of 5 mils (.127 mm). This is a 12.5 CPI bar code. This is the preferred label for all parts (except motherboards), and is recommended unless the manufacturer is incapable of printing or scanning a label printed with this density bar code. Approval to use an alternative label is to be obtained in writing from DELL via contract or Purchase Order. (Special note: Upon specific approval from Dell, this label may be produced in a smaller size using Code 128 rather than Code 39. This approval is intended only for parts that are too small for a 2" label, such as certain notebook components) [GRAPHIC] TYPE B LABEL For manufacturers not having equipment capable of printing or scanning the standard size label (Type A above), a label up to 3.25 inches (79.4 mm) wide by .5 inch (12.7 mm) high will be permitted, provided the component size permits and it does not interfere with the operation or finished look of the component. When the narrow element exceeds width of 6.6 mils (.167 mm), a 2 to 1 or 2.5 to 1 ratio may be used. DELL discourages the use of this label unless it is absolutely necessary. The bar code densities can, for a label wider than 2 inches, range down to as low as 7.7 CPI which requires a label to be at least 3.125 inches long to have acceptable quiet zones. A bar code density of 10.4 CPI requires a 2.375 inch (60.3 mm) long minimum label. This density is achieved with a 300 DPI printer using a 6.6 mil (2 dot) narrow element at a 2.5 to 1 ratio.
