Lead-Free/RoHS GUIDE

Two European Directives will have a profound impact in the electrical and electronics industry.

The two directives are the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment). By July 1st, 2006, electronic devices produced in or exported to Europe must be free of lead. This legislation in Europe has an impact worldwide on all manufacturers, suppliers and distributors.

Circuit boards used in automotive, aerospace, military and high-reliability telecommunications equipment are exempt from this legislation.

Electro Sonic is evaluating our suppliers for information on this subject and will be committed to provide the information you need and to guide you through this legislation. This section will help you find the information you need to stay current on this lead-free legislation and the impact it may have on your company.
