After the connector has passed the European Union (EU) ROHS certification

For most manufacturers, if you want your products to be recognized by customers, in addition to the excellent quality, if they can pass some qualification certifications, then the sales of the products may have unexpected effects. Konnra connector engineers will take you to know the relevant knowledge of European Union (EU) RoHS certification. Konnra engineers pointed out that RoHS was promulgated in the European Union (EU) in February 2003. This EU regulation aims to restrict the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). Among the prohibited substances, perhaps the most widely known is Lead (Pb) too. Later, RoHS certification gradually formed a standard specification in the connector industry. After the products produced by manufacturers conform to these specifications, product sales are bound to be broken.

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) and the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical Substances (REACH) have some similarities, including some prohibited substances, but their implementation and covered products are different. RoHS is a directive for electronic products. Therefore, each country in the European Union (EU) is responsible for the implementation of RoHS and fines for any products that violate the directive. However, REACH is a regulation covering all products, regulated by ECHA, and the enforcement and penalties are the same throughout the EU. In addition, RoHS currently has 10 substances, while REACH has 181 substances.
In 2017, it passed the RoHS 2 certification and added four substances, bringing the list to ten. For these four other substances, no exemption was granted. According to this regulation, for most connector manufacturers, these added phthalates are easily accepted because they have become part of REACH.
The complete list of substances is: lead (Pb), RoHS logo, mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr 6 ), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) phthalate (2-ethylhexyl), ester (DEHP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP).

From the perspective that connectors need to comply with ROHS specifications, product conformity assessment (COC) may not be all that customers want to see. In many cases, customers prefer to view third-party test reports, especially SGS reports. . There are generally two types of tests that can be used to prove compliance with RoHS requirements, namely non-destructive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and wet chemical analysis. Wet chemical analysis is more accurate in these two measurement types. Overall, RoHS-certified connector products allow customers to use them with confidence and ensure product safety and reliability.
