Thin Film Resistor Networks Offer RoHS Compliance

"In response to growing environmental concerns and regulations in the electronic component industry, TT Electronics BI Technologies Electronic Component Division recently developed RoHS-compliant thin film resistor networks. The networks are comprised of a 100% matte tin finish over copper lead frame, and are available immediately. RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) are the regulatory guidelines adopted by the industry stating that by July 1, 2006 new electrical and electronic equipment must not contain certain hazardous substances (such as lead, mercury or cadmium)."
