RoHS

Industry Links NEDA Lead Free EU Directive 2003/11EC Electronics Weekly Soldertec Global ERA Technology RoHS WEEE ELV In an effort to reduce the use of hazardous material in electronic equipment as well as allow for additional recycling opportunities for these products, the European Union has initiated a Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and a directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). RoHS bans the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDE). The directives associated with the banning of these products will go into effect July 1, 2006. WEEE is aimed at reducing the hazardous material content in electronic products as well as increasing recycling efforts for these products. Sager Electronics has already experienced changes in product from our suppliers in support of this initiative. For many, it involves converting from tin/lead plating to a compliant substance or moving toward a lead free solder for products such as cables, relays, power systems, microwave devices and more. Movement toward these types of products will be required to continue business in Europe. Sager Electronics' Efforts At Sager, we understand that your business may be impacted by the move to RoHS-compliant products. We are working with our suppliers to keep you informed of changes and to help ease the possible transition to new part numbers, new products or new solutions.
