The following outlines NIC Components Corp. compliance strategy with the goal to meet ROHS requirements of EC Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and EC Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (ROHS).

Maximum concentration values (MCV) define the maximum amount of an individual restricted substance (per the EU RoHS directive) within each homogeneous material* that compose the component.

 

RoHS RESTRICTED MATERIALS:
Substance RoHS LIMIT: MCV - Maximum Concentration Values
1. Lead (Pb) Lead (Pb) within components = < 0.10% = < 1000 PPM
RoHS Exemptions for Pb (RoHs Exemption 5, 7a, 7c)  
2. Mercury (Hg) < 0.10% = < 1,000PPM
3. Hexavalent Chromium (Cr VI) < 0.10% = < 1,000PPM
4. Cadmium (Cd) < 0.01% = < 100 PPM
5. Poly brominated flame retardants (PBB) < 0.10% = < 1,000PPM
6. Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) < 0.10% = < 1,000PPM

 * - Homogeneous materials are defined as materials that cannot be mechanically disjointed into different materials and are "of uniform composition throughout" Types include: liquids, plastics, ceramics, glass, metals, alloys, paper, resins, and coatings.

EXAMPLES:
HOMOGENEOUS MATERIAL SUBSTANCE NAME CHEMICAL SYMBOL
Substrate Aluminum oxide Al2O3
Termination - Conductor Silver Ag
Nickel Plating Nickel Ni
Tin Plating Tin Sn


 
1.) Legacy Part Number - LAST TIME PURCHASE   

Legacy Part Number (non-RoHS)   LAST TIME PURCHASE

Please be advised last time purchase for Legacy Part Numbers will be July 1, 2007

Last shipment date for Legacy Part Numbers will be September 1, 2007

This last time purchase announcement applies to all NIC product series listed (see PDF below), and excludes NACxx Series (NACxx Series will continue to be available in legacy PNs)

To prevent disruption in supply, all users of legacy part numbers are strongly encouraged to add RoHS compliant "F" suffix part numbers to BOMs immediately.

Exempt From LAST TIME PURCHASE:
The only legacy part numbers - product series that will continue availability in legacy part numbers (non-RoHS) after July 01, 2007 will be the following product series

Type Legacy NIC Part Numbers
These part numbers will continue after January 01, 2007

2a.) RoHS Compliant Material Identification (By Part Number)

In compliance with National Electronic Distributors Association (NEDA) and National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative's (NEMI) recommendations, NIC will institute use of unique part number suffix identifier "F" to identify RoHS compliant material. This effort is made to enable control and identification RoHS compliant material throughout the supply chain.

[ For best long-term availability, conversion to RoHS compliant part numbers is strongly encouraged ]

RoHS Compliant Products and Part Numbers are the standard - default part number (inventoried product)

Examples:
Legacy Part Number RoHS Compliant Part Number
NACxxxxxxxxxxTR NACxxxxxxxxxxTRF
NMCxxxxxxxxxxxxTRP NMCxxxxxxxxxxxxTRPF
NMC0603NPO101J25TRP NMC0603NPO101J25TRPF

2b.) RoHS Compliant, Pb-Free (Lead Free) Material Identification (Packaging)

To allow easy identification of all Pb-Free (Lead Free) material, all NIC Components Corp Reel, Bag, Box, Cartons will have "RoHS Compliant" label similar to example below:

 "RoHS Compliant" Labeling RoHS Compliant Product Identification
on Labels: Reel, Bags, Cartons

Terminal Finish Transition

As of March 31st 2006, legacy (Sn-Pb "solder") plated terminals - lead wires products will have completed transition to Pb-Free terminal finish. [ PCN link

Current users of Non-RoHS Compliant Part Numbers are strongly encouraged to add RoHS compliant part numbers (part number suffix "F") to part number databases immediately.

PDF Document RoHS Guideline
(6 pages) 
Includes Product Change Notification



SUBJECT: Component Part Number Change

NIC PRODUCT SERIES: All NIC Product Series; See below table

Please be advised that the following is notice of standard - default part number change from Legacy (non-RoHS) to RoHS compliant part number. Part number migration is shown on table below.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Phased in through end of calendar 2005 as the standard - default part number (inventoried product).

PART NUMBERS EFFECTED: All NIC products; See table below.

REASON FOR CHANGE:
To provide clear - easy to follow - system for identification of RoHS (Pb-Free) compliant versions of NIC products. Also to comply with industry recommendations for new unique part numbers for RoHS (Pb-Free) compliant products [Ref: NEDA & JEDEC guidelines]
