How will one be able to distinguish between RoHS Compliant and non RoHS Compliant products?
Parts that are RoHS Compliant will have a “+” suffix. (Example: JMS-1 will become JMS-1+ to indicate Compliant Status). The “+” will be marked on models that are currently marked with a part number (this excludes open transformers and some MMICs). This part number will appear on reel labels or packaging. We will also be adopting the for labels, as well as the JESD97 (eX) method of identifying metallization finish. In addition, we have begun to include the word “RoHS” on labels of parts that are compliant. (Sept, 2006).
