RoHS Compliance

RoHS Compliant Monolithic Devices:
All monolithic devices are RoHS compliant.

RoHS Compliant Hybrid Devices
All hybrid devices and open frame devices are RoHS compliant in both standard and A grades unless otherwise listed below. For VRE models, devices are compliant in all grades (e.g. for VRE102; the VRE102C, VRE102CA, VRE102M and VRE102MA are all compliant).
Non-RoHS Compliant Hybrid Devices
“M” and “M/883” grade hybrids (e.g. PA02M, PA02M/833) are not RoHS compliant with the exception of VRE models.  In addition, the PA03, PA12A-S and SA50CE models are not offered in a RoHS compliant version.
Accessories Compliance Status
All thermal washers, mating sockets and heatsinks are RoHS compliant with the exception of HS24, MS06 and MS11.  All Evaluation Kits (EK’s) are not RoHS compliant.
Additional Information Regarding RoHS Compliance

  1. Due to the high power performance technology of Apex Microtechnology products, a significant number of customer applications may fall under one of several application specific exemptions such as military equipment, large scale industrial tools and large scale fixed installations.  Customer applications may also not fall into one of the 10 categories of EEE currently regulated under RoHS/WEEE.Please refer to websites such as http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/rohs_eee/pdf/faq.pdf for specific details regarding these exemptions.

  2. At this time, Apex Microtechnology anticipates that product models will remain non-compliant due to physical or customer requirements. These models include PA03, PA03A, SA50CE, M/883 compliant devices, and ‘M’ grade devices (except for VRE series M grade products).

  3. Apex Microtechnology understands the lead and cadmium used in thickfilm hybrid applications and in the VRE/SWR series are exempt per points 7(c)-I and 8b respectively of the 2010/571/EU Commission Decision.

  4. Apex Microtechnology understands the lead in the solder used in the DF, HU, and HR packages is exempt per point 7(a) of the 2010/571/EU Commission Decision.
