Lead Free PCB Assembly - RoHS

What is RoHS?

The RoHS directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". This directive will ban the placing on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants from 1 July 2006.

At Foundation Technology it is very much recognised that the conversion of your product range to comply with the RoHS directive is a significant and challenging issue.

Sustainable systems, including a RoHS parts list conversion service, have been put in place at Foundation Technology to ensure a smooth and effective transition to lead free PCB assembly.

Foundation Technology can offer a level of quality, and reliability of service, which is unaffected by the RoHS directive.
