Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Compliance

From PCA Electronics
 

 

PCA Electronics is ready to supply components that are in compliance with the EU RoHS Directive (EU Directive 2002/95/EC). PCA defines "RoHS Compliant" or "Pb-Free" to mean products that are compliant with the RoHS Directive for all (six) banned substances, including the requirement that lead (Pb) levels do not exceed 0.1% (1000ppm) by weight in homogeneous materials unless exempted by the RoHS Directive. Maximum Concentration Values (MCV) is: 0.1% for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenylethers and 0.01% for cadmium.

RoHS Lead-Free Identification - Components With Internal Solder Connections. This class of component includes filters and delay lines that use chip components in their construction. In order to build the component to withstand up to 260°C peak process temperatures, Sn10Pb88Ag02 (268-299C) solder is used. While this solder is not lead-free, it is exempted by the RoHS Directive and is currently the only cost-competitive way to meet this requirement. These components will be marked with the suffix '-RC' to denote RoHS compliance. These products do not contain any banned substances except for lead in solders, but is exempted for lead in solder containing greater than 85% (Pb) as established by the RoHS Directive. These parts are generally SMD.
