As Rohs parts with lead free solders dont wet as well your operator may be mistaking this for oxidisation. there is also the posibility that the parts are manufactured with HMP solder (92.5% lead) also rosh complient but the solder dose oxidise.

I forgot to mentioned, that we produce both leaded and RoHS products in the same SMT-lines. The only thing we do; is a more trouhgfully cleaning of the stencil printing machine in beween product changeover of leaded/RoHS products. Sincerly,

do not forget,ROHS Directive does not allow other chemical substances (ie. PBB, PBDE,....) that could be in PCBs, so the PCB must be ROHS compliant and not only Pb Free. That means be carefully when marking PCB or PBAs. Regards..........GS

I would interpret the directive such these manipulating arms are "tools" as described in cat 6. The next step would be to investigate whether or not your competitors (or other suppliers) are claiming to be WEEE and RoHS compliant. If they are and you

Thank you Patrick, now I feel much more better My mother tongue is not English, so it takes plenty of time time to understand those enigma. I think that lawyers will have a lot of work thanks to the ROHS interpretation. Regards..........GS

Hi, I think it's easy to be pro RoHS because you have to accept it, and implement it, however it's still nice to complain. I am going to sign! Grant
