International Rectifier Takes Next Steps in Conversion to Lead-free Packages
November 14, 2003 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
El Segundo, Calif. — International Rectifier has initiated the next phase in its product conversion program for lead-free finish packages, a process planned to be completed in 2004.
In support of the company's commitment to the environment, International Rectifier is working with industry alliances and its customers to develop a full range of lead-free solutions. The company initiated certain product conversions to lead-free packages early last year with the commencement of rigorous evaluation and qualification programs to achieve product performance to specification at the higher re-flow temperatures associated with lead-free processing.
Many of the company's commercial products are now available in production quantities in pure tin or tin-copper finishes depending upon the product as well as market requirement.These products are designed to comply with JEDEC standards and a set of European EC directives governing the use of lead-free material for packages.
