RoHS compliance means that the part is free of lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, PBBs, and PBDEs. Lead-free means that the part is free of lead, specifically. No Maxim processes or parts use or contain cadmium, chromium, mercury, POBBs, and PBDEs. All our parts are “5 of 6” compliant. Lead is the only substance that applies to Maxim parts.
