Is HASL finish RoHS compliant?
Table of Contents
Instead, Tin-Copper, Tin-Nickel or Tin-Copper-Nickel Germanium may be used. This makes Lead-Free HASL an economical and RoHS compliant choice.
What is OSP finish?
OSP (Organic Solderability Preservative) OSP is a water-based, organic surface finish that is typically used for copper pads. It selectively bonds to copper and protects the copper pad before soldering. OSP is environmentally friendly, provides a coplanar surface, is lead-free, and requires low equipment maintenance.
What is RoHS compliant PCB?
RoHS compliant circuit boards are important because the products that use these PCBs will one day likely end up in a landfill or other trash reclamation process. RoHS PCBs eliminate many of the hazardous chemicals that pollute our landfills. They also protect the people who fabricate your circuit board.
What is ENIG RoHs?
Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) The gold protects the nickel during storage and also provides the low contact resistance required for the thin gold deposits. ENIG is now arguably the most used finish in the PCB industry due the growth and implementation of the RoHs regulation.
What is ENIG finishing?
ENIG is short for Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold, also known as immersion gold (Au), chemical Ni/Au, or soft gold. An ENIG finish is formed by the deposition of Ni-P alloy on a catalyzed Pd surface generated through displacement reaction on a copper surface, followed by a thin layer of gold finish.
Is fr4 material RoHS compliant?
Epec is a leader in providing an extensive array of lead free printed circuit board solutions. Epec’s lead free products are fully RoHS compliant….RoHS Restricted Materials.

How do you calculate RoHS compliance?
1. Testing: Either on-site or XRF testing and/or lab phthalate solvent extraction testing is done to determine values of the ten restricted RoHS substances. 2. Process Audit: Inspect all applicable manufacturing processes used towards RoHS compliance on-site.

What is RoHS compliance and when is it required?
All applicable products in the EU market since July 1, 2006 must pass RoHS compliance. Directive 2011/65/EU was published in 2011 by the EU, which is known as RoHS-Recast or RoHS 2. RoHS 2 includes a CE-marking directive, with RoHS compliance now being required for CE marking of products.
What is RoHS 3 and what are the new EU regulations?
EU RoHS specifies maximum levels for the following 10 restricted substances. The first six applied to the original RoHS while the last four were added under RoHS 3, which takes effect July 22, 2019. Cadmium (Cd): < 100 ppm. Lead (Pb): < 1000 ppm. Mercury (Hg): < 1000 ppm. Hexavalent Chromium: (Cr VI) < 1000 ppm.
