Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

The 2002/95/EC Directive from the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 (RoHS) addresses the elimination and/or control of specified hazardous materials in electronics. White Electronic Designs Corporation is very much aware of these directives and has programs in place to address the specific issues in our products. Materials used in assembly of the products have been reviewed for compliance to the standard as well as any chemicals used in the processes.

WEDC products are compliant to RoHS, except for the solder used to tin leads, or BGA solder balls. Defense applications are in most cases exempt from the RoHS requirements and there is a preference for use of Sn63 solder due to the long term reliability history with this material set.

However, WEDC can produce BGAs with lead free solder balls to fully comply with the RoHS requirements. Please contact the factory for your detail requirements.
