ECD Unveils RoHS-compliant Thermal Profiler at Productronica '05

"At the Productronica show, to take place November 15–18, 2005, in Munich, visitors to ECD's booth (A4.240) will be amongst the first to see ECD's new RoHS-compliant SuperM.O.L.E. Gold thermal profiler. In terms of higher process temperatures, this thermal profiler is lead-free-compatible, containing no lead or the other banned substances in the board finish, components or hardware. ECD's worldwide customer surveys indicate that 30.4% of companies will have completed their lead-free conversion by the end of 2005. Another 20.7% are working vigorously to requalify their part numbers to lead-free status by the end of Q1 2006, and 32.8% of companies that realize they must convert have yet to begin (16.1% are exempt). Now, companies that are or will manufacture lead-free electronics products can specify a RoHS-compliant thermal profiler for developing and managing soldering recipes." Source: pennnet.com
