Lead-free technology and the environment go hand in hand
Startronics is committed to processes required to address issues of environmental management. Although the introduction of the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directives are the single biggest capital investment for industry participants, they are however, a window of opportunity and a positive outcome for eco-friendly manufacturers such as Startronics.

Startronics has invested in selective soldering as the first step into through-hole lead-free soldering. The company makes available lead-free soldering to customers in time for the effective commencement date of European Union initiatives banning lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) and multiple forms of bromine (Br).

Lead-free soldering does not only impact the assembly process, but every facet associated with the soldering process – from new inventory of parts; solder alloys; flux changes; contaminate-free soldering irons; tips; tip temperatures; sponges and everything that comes in contact with the soldering process.

Startronics can assist you with your transition through:

  • Conversion/avoidance strategies for existing products
  • Inventory management
  • BOM conversion services
  • Manufacturing process review
  • RoHS compliance strategy development

Startronics offers you a complimentary customised presentation on all the key practical issues regarding the implementation of RoHS/ WEEE directives.

Contact our RoHS Product Manager for a free customised RoHS-presentation on:
02 9748 6626 or rohs@startronics.com.au
