RoHS
We have adopted a numbering system to fully describe the devices that are available. The additional code is printed on each device (subject to space availability) alongside the DATE CODE and rotated by 90 degrees.
Semelab RoHS Product Code descriptions
Following the JEDEC JESD 97 - but with additions, we apply the following two digit code to fully describe the ability of SEMELAB products to meet or exceed the RoHS requirements:-
The two digit code contains a letter (E, R or G) to indicate the level of compliance with the second digit being a number (1 to 9) to indicate the type of lead finish.
In practice, the Bedlington site uses SnAgCu (category x1) for most of its wire ended devices, x3, Sn (matt tin) for plastic encapsulated discrete products and x4 - gold for ceramic surface mount devices along with several of the older small signal metal case parts. Termination finish could change to meet any customer's specific needs.
Devices qualified to DESC, BS, CECC specifications will continue to respect the build standard and termination finish as demanded by the version of DECS, BS, CECC specifications ordered. Pre-RoHS products - remain available on request.
Traditionally built hermetically sealed devices are maintained in production to satisfy the makers of High Reliability equipment (usually exempt from the RoHS regulations) where "no changes" are demanded usually on reliability and predictability grounds.
