We recommend to swith when it's possible to the camloc D4002 series to be compliant with ROHS

California's RoHS Law: Health and Safety Code sections 25214.9-25214.10.2
California's RoHS regulations: California Code of Regulations, title 22, section 66260.202
Legislative history of California's RoHS Law: Senate Bill 20, 2003 and 50, 2004

RoHS is an acronym for Restriction on the use of certain Hazardous Substances. The concept behindCalifornia’s RoHS Law is to limit the amounts of certain hazardous heavy metals in specific waste electronic devices so that those metals never find their way into landfills or elsewhere, where they can eventually be released into the environment.

They have the same mechanical strength.

They are form fit and completely interchangeable and functional and come also with the same certs.

(and less expensive, and shorter delivery time)

It’s only the plating that is different.

Moving away from Cadmium is more and more a requirement within the industry
it’s even a requirement if you sell your products to California, and probably also other states ; it’s also a requirement when exporting your goods to Europe

You might be confronted with new environmental laws in the state of California. You were used to source cadmium plated parts. We offer a compatible zinc protection which is Chrome VI free. This makes our parts RoHS compliant, a very strong environmental directive

Take care:

Cadmium plated can still be used for critical flight components, where zinc plating is not offering the necessary self-healing effect of cadmium

for a specific customer:

We would recommend the following:

214-16D

please transition to the new ROHS conform: D214-16FGV (zinc plated)

214-16SD

Still valid and ROHS conform

40G16-100 this is also cadmium plated, and not ROHS conform

If you’re interested we can quote you an ROHS conform one, but need a quantity

40G16-100S

ROHS conform
