Federal Electronics Debuts RoHS Conversion Services

"EMS provider Federal Electronics has debuted a services portfolio to aid OEMs convert and reengineer their products to comply with the European Union's RoHS directive. These regulations prohibit selling new electronic and electrical equipment in Europe if it contains more than trace levels of lead and five other elements by July 1, 2006. Federal's solution targets companies in the high-mix, high-complexity and low- to medium-volume electronics market niche that are at risk of not complying with the directive's deadline. It focuses on helping companies that have limited internal resources to manage the conversion of their products." Source: smt.pennnet.com
