Are CONCEPT IGBT drivers RoHS conform?
The guideline refers to consumer products. It does not apply to capital goods, which include most power applications. Most of the components used have already been lead-free for a longer period of time. We have been using lead-free leadframes for many years, so there is no problem in using our drivers in a lead-free process. Power modules are apparently also being converted only “superficially” to RoHS compliance, i.e. this applies only to their terminal pins or screws, but not their internal configuration (chips soldered on substrates and these on the baseplates). In general, we have not noticed any great interest in RoHS-compliant products from our customers.
