CRANSTON, RI – EMS provider Federal Electronics has introduced services to help OEMs convert and, if necessary, reengineer their products to comply with the European Union’s RoHS directive.
The services are designed for companies in the high-mix, high-complexity and low-to-medium volume electronics market niche that are at risk of not complying with the directive’s deadline. It aims to help companies with limited internal resources to manage the conversion.
“In addition to printed circuit board assemblies, the banned substances can be found in wire, cable, connector systems and even zinc plated sheet metal,” said Ed Evangelista, vice president. “…We recognize that the directive covers more than just PCBAs and a lead-free manufacturing process. Our services include analysis on interconnect and higher level assemblies as well.”
Available as a bundle or as-needed, the services include:
· BOM analysis and conversion to RoHS compliant material for copper and fiber optic interconnect, mixed technology PCBA and higher level assemblies.
· Assistance in selection of compliant substitutes and second sources.
· Engineering design assistance where the lack of suitable compliant components results in the need for PCBA redesign.
· Continual notifications and BOM management as component suppliers issue End Of Life statements for existing components and introduce RoHS compliant parts.
· BOM cost and lead time analysis during the conversion process
· Production conducted within lead-free compliant processes.
