TRU RoHS Products Test Report

TRU RoHS Products
Test Report
Introduction:
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is a directive that places maximum concentration limits on
the use of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), hexavalent chromium (Cr+6), mercury (Hg), Polybrominated
Biphenyl (PBB) and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE). TRU Corporation has developed a series
of RoHS compliant products to meet the requirements of directive 2002/95/EC.
These products have been specifically designed to utilize RoHS compliant materials and to eliminate /
reduce the use of restricted materials to comply with 2002/95/EC Annex C. These RoHS compliant
designs feature:
•
•
•
Redesign of inner / outer conductor joints
- use of 1 piece inner / outer conductors where possible
- replace solder / braze joints with mechanically captivated joints
- RoHS compliant solder for solder/braze joints that can not
be completely eliminated
RoHS compliant base metal alloys
RoHS compliant precious metal plating
Objective
Test and characterize the performance of RoHS Products as compared to the current equivalent products.
Test and characterize the mating durability of RoHS compliant QC interface over an extended number of
mating cycles to simulate the lifetime performance of the interface.

Conclusion:
The typical electrical and mechanical performance of the new RoHS products is the same as the current
product designs.
The QC interface is rated for 500 mating cycles. The RoHS compliant QC interface meets the 500 mates
rating without degradation to the mechanical and electrical properties. The Insertional and Withdrawal
forces stabilize and remain fairly constant after the 750 to 1000 mates.
The RoHS compliant QC interface will perform throughout 2500 mates with minimal, if any,
influence on the electrical performance parameters.
