American Future Electronics is fully committed to the aims and requirements of the RoHS Directive.
We are can also supply non-RoHS compliant parts for customers with products which are RoHS exempt and have not yet migrated to RoHS products and we will for sure introduce them to this new concept of green thinking.
The RoHS which stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of six hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products.
RoHS specifies maximum levels for the following six restricted materials:
Lead (Pb): < 1000 ppm
Mercury (Hg): < 100 ppm
Cadmium (Cd): < 100 ppm
Hexavalent Chromium: (Cr VI) < 1000 ppm
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB): < 1000 ppm
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE): < 1000 ppm.
WEEE stands for Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment. WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC mandates the treatment, recovery and recycling of electric and electronic equipment however the directive does allow provision for exclusions such as equipment used for military and medical purposes as well as that of monitoring and control instrumentation.
