ECD Unveils RoHS-compliant Thermal Profiler at Productronica '05
November 10, 2005 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
PORTLAND, Ore. — 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.
