RoHS Recast

2011年7月1日,ROHS重铸在欧盟官方杂志上发表,废除了原始ROHS。

作为ROHS重铸中列举的更改的一部分,可以从2016年7月22日开始删除使用潜在客户的一些豁免。为了为这一变化做准备,Littelfuse目前正在测试使用以下豁免的产品中的豁免材料的替代品:7(a) - 高熔化温度类型焊料(含有85%的重量或更多铅的铅基合金),7(c -1) - 电容器中的玻璃或陶瓷中含有铅的电气和电子组件,电容器中的其他磁极或陶瓷中的铅含量例如压电设备,或在玻璃或陶瓷基质化合物和6(c)中 - 含量高达4%的铜合金。如果无法将替代材料被识别并有资格作为当前使用豁免7(a)或7(c)-I或6(c)的材料的合适替代品,Littelfuse将在2015年1月1日之前准备并提交申请对于ROHS重铸的第5条和附件V所定义的续订豁免。

Littelfuse will also continue to work with industry associations and with its customers in monitoring changes to these specific regulatory requirements and is committed to complying with any changes that will be implemented in the future.
