RoHS Statement
In response to the legislated environmental directives being instituted throughout the world, AOP has established a comprehensive program that is intended to promote product compliance with the new laws. At this time, the key environmental directives are from the European Community, with many countries/states either following these directives explicitly or instituting their own variations. The most notable directive is the RoHS (Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances). The RoHS legislation restricts the use of certain hazardous substances to levels of less than 100-1000 ppm used in electronic products. The RoHS and equivalent directives prohibit use of the following substances in products placed into the market effective July 1, 2006:
? Lead	? Hexavalent Chromium
? Mercury	? Cadmium
? Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)	? Polybrominated Diphenylethers (PBDE)
AOP has received requirements from many customers to provide products conforming to these environmental regulations. In order to serve our customers, we are in the process of ensuring that 100% of our products are compliant with the RoHS directive. Currently 98% of CUI products are RoHS compliant with the remaining 2% scheduled to become compliant by July 1, 2006. All AOP RoHS compliant parts are compatible with lead-free solder processes. Part specific RoHS information, including a RoHS Certificate of Compliance, is available on the website. The website will continually be updated as parts become compliant and when additional RoHS information is available. If you can not find the RoHS information that you need on the website, please contact AOP directly at 909-465-0080.
