CORRESPONDING TO RoHS DIRECTIVE 

 

Hazardous substances	Most concerns on Terminal	RoHS complied situation
Lead (Pb)	Construction of terminals	Tin(Sn) plated copper (Cu) covered iron (Fe)
	Plating on terminals	Change plating from Sn-Pb to Sn
	Plating characters	－Plating thickness 12μm －Plating type matte         －No heat treatment after plating
	Resistance to soldering heat	Please see “Reflow Soldering Conditions for Lead-free V-chip Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor”
	Solderability & Tensile strength	No difference with Sn-Pb
	Whisker	No difference with Sn-Pb   －Room storage test: 20-25℃, 30-80%RH, 4000hrs －Aging test: 60+/-5℃, 93+2/-3%RH, 4000hrs －Thermal cycle test: -55+0/-10℃ to 85+10/-0℃, 3 cycles/hour, 1000 cycles
Cadmium (Cd)	Not detected ( ∠2 ppm )
Mercury (Hg)
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr VI)
PBB	Not detected ( ∠5 ppm )
PBDE
Identification for RoHS compliance parts	1.       Change product numbering system from “MVC” to “MLC” since 15 January 2005. “L” means “Lead-free”. 2.       Use the uniform “Pb-free” label and “e3” mark for KJ brand V-chip aluminum electrolytic capacitors on reels and in-boxes since 1 July 2006, except other requests from customers. “e3” is the category description of Pb-free terminal as Sn.
SGS commission test	Complying with RoHS Directive, have the annual commission tests on all materials, packaging materials and the finished products
MSL Level (IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C)	Not applicable, and no need dry package
