Xekera Systems Inc. has taken an environmentally responsible step by manufacturing RoHS-compliant PCBs across all products. The PCB waste generated for decades has been harming our environment with hazardous substances. We’re committed to protecting the future of our planet.
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) restricts the use of several hazardous materials in electrical and electronic components. Along with RoHS, WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) makes manufacturers responsible for the disposal of their finished goods at the end of their life.
According to the RoHS directive, electrical and electronic equipment must not contain more than 1000 ppm of restricted substances.
Non-toxic materials prevent groundwater contamination and protect aquatic life and human wellbeing.
Meet international standards and regulations, ensuring product safety and market access worldwide.
High-quality RoHS materials offer excellent thermal and mechanical properties for extended product life.
Products comply with global environmental directives, ready for deployment in regulated markets.
Earlier, PCB manufacturers used lead extensively for surface finish and soldering. As per the RoHS directive, manufacturers cannot use lead as it is a hazardous substance. This led to the development of lead-free PCB manufacturing.
Lead-free soldering requires higher temperatures, so PCB materials must withstand this without damage. We use new laminates with better thermo-mechanical properties to withstand higher temperatures of lead-free soldering, improving both infant mortality rates and long-term stability.
We select base materials that conform to RoHS directives while ensuring long-term stability. Key properties considered include glass transition temperature (Tg), decomposition temperature (Td), coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), moisture absorption, and time to delaminate.
The major concern is piles of electronic waste in open junkyards all over the globe. There is no control over the hazardous substances like heavy metals and other chemicals that electronic waste typically contains. Acidic rainwater dissolves these harmful substances and contaminates groundwater and water bodies, severely harming aquatic life and human wellbeing.
RoHS initiatives provide the requisite relief for all. Compliance with RoHS directives will ultimately support the fight against global warming and climate change.
Xekera Systems Inc. is fully equipped for delivering lead-free or RoHS-compliant PCB assemblies. Our world-class manufacturing setup has sophisticated machines for manufacturing lead-free and RoHS-compliant PCB assemblies, including flex and rigid-flex PCBs.
