D-sub connectors are RoHS compliant

"FCI has added RoHS-compatible options to its D-subminiature family of connectors. Both the Delta D series straight solder version and the press-fit version are now available without the restricted materials as detailed in the directive, and the right-angle version will be available by the end of the year. Delta D-subminiature connectors are available for both PCB and cable applications, in both signal and power versions. The RoHS-compatible versions withstand temperatures up to 260C for 3.5s, and so are capable of withstanding lead-free wave soldering. The RoHS-compatible Delta D range is identified by the suffix LF at the end of existing part numbers." Source: electronicstalk.com
