Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive...
As most of you know, there is a list of restricted hazards which are to be avoided when possible during manufacturing, designing, etc...
The list for the ROHS via a recent search through wikipedia.org list the following:
1. Lead
2. Mercury
3. Cadmium
4. Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)
5. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
6. Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)
What alternative substances and processes exist which help during the design / manufacturing phase for electronic components? Purchase Orders are starting to impose restrictions stating that RoHS substances may not be used. One problem with that is there may not be a suitable alternative to keep the physical integrity of the part from diminishing due to using a sub-standard alternative.
If anyone has any experiences that they would be willing to share, I am sure many of us could benefit. I am getting ready to enter into this problem, and will report any failures / successes that I come across.
Best to all...
