pcb assembly services rohs compliant pcb assembly – ultra electronics cems

The introduction of the RoHS legislation, which will come into effect on July 1, 2006, has led many electronic manufacturing companies and electronic component suppliers to review their products and services.One such company is ultra-electronic CEMS located in Dorset.Ultra CEMS produces products on behalf of their customers and has customers who are currently exempt from current legislation and who are directly affected by RoHS legislation.
John Dean, state sales manager for Ultra CEMS, said we are currently working with all of our customers to help make the transition to RoHS compliant components and products.We recommend that even companies that are currently exempt from the new legislation now review their component engineering strategy because we believe that as component manufacturers gradually transition to their whole, sooner or later, these companies will be affected. in order to reduce costs, the product line meets RoHS standards.
We believe that certain packages will be available only in RoHS compliant form soon, so it is better to manage changes now if implemented later.Even if the component manufacturer continues to support non-Parts that meet RoHS standards in defense, aerospace and other departments, the unit price of these parts is likely to increase to reflect the reduction of the required volume.This is clearly an issue that needs to be considered in the product cost/design review.
We have produced many RoHS compliant PCB components for our customers and in some cases we have been doing lead-free since July 2004.In PCB components, it is not uncommon for each product to have more than 100 different components to review.If we assume that each customer has more than 10 different product combinations, then we can talk about more than 1000 part numbers that have to be reviewed.
This may be a difficult task and should therefore be done as soon as possible.This process involves providing component engineering support to customers and going through all their parts lists, making suggestions, finding direct alternatives that meet RoHS standards, and advising on topics such as backward compatibility.If you haven't considered the RoHS legislation and how it will affect your business, then it's time to start before the new legislation takes effect.
