The site notes: > Multiple chipped corners. Such damage often was a result of improper packing in an IC shipping tube. If you're requiring mil-spec components, I think it's clear why such devices would be rejected. At the very least, the risk that improper handling has caused functional damage and/or structural weakness probably isn't worth taking.
