M/A-COM RoHS Compliance

M/A-COM has more than 10 years experience producing lead-free electronic modules using higher melting point RoHS compliant solders to stability modules for subsequent incorporation into electronic assemblies using tin-lead reflow. This report highlights M/A-COM's strategies for

• qualifying RoHS compliant components
• managing RoHS implementation across multiple business units and manufacturing locations
• designing data management systems to support supplier management and customer service functions
• producing both compliant and standard tin-lead alloy products for military and aerospace industries with specifications that prohibit the use of some commonly used RoHS compliant materials
• ensuring that RoHS compliant products are "backwards compatible" with tin-lead solder processes.
