LEMO Connectors and Accessories

LEMO certifies that its connectors and accessories marketed, manufactured, and shipped after January 1, 2006 are in full compliance with the requirements of Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 27th January 2003 regarding the presence of: mercury, cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium, polybromide biphenyl (PBB) or polybromide diphenyl ether (PBDE).

The Directive (EU Directive 2002/95/EC) specifies restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment by July 1, 2006 and is known as the RoHS Directive

All part numbers will remain unchanged. All our solder connectors are already compatible with the lead-free soldering process. Our insulators are made of high temperature material and the standard connecting surfaces are made of an Au/Ni plating.

Contacts Designed for Solder Connection

All LEMO connectors with solder-style contacts are fully compatible with lead-free solder and the required higher temperatures. LEMO insulators are made of high temperature material and the standard connecting surfaces are made of an Au/Ni plating. In addition, LEMO has conducted verification testing of contacts and cable assemblies with lead-free solder.

Cable and Product Assemblies by LEMO

Standard cable and product assemblies from LEMO use lead-free solder. Cable assemblies and other value added products that require RoHS declarations of compliance will be available by June 1, 2006. Call us if you need help with certification earlier. LEMO also continues to offer custom services to meet customer specific requirements for both material and process (such as with solder selection) in cable and other product assemblies. Lead based or lead-free soldering processes are available.
