What does the "BX" suffix mean?

Bard uses suffixes like "BX" to manage parts internally. These do not change the physical form or function of the part.

A part number ending in "BX" simply means it is packaged in a box for shipping, rather than for internal assembly use.

Example: 8406-142BX is physically identical to 8406-142.
