Techspray® Introduces Lead-Free / RoHS Products and Reference for Electronic Production
Amarillo, TX - Techspray has introduced a new product that tests solder for the presence of lead and a lead-free/RoHS resource guide. This new product and resource guide help printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers and assemblers maintain RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance.
Lead Solder Test
Techspray's new LeadCheck® swabs (2515-N) are a fast, easy-to-use method of testing components and solder joints for lead solder. Incoming components and boards, in addition to existing inventories, can be checked for RoHS compliance. This avoids mixed lead and lead-free inventories, lead contamination in RoHS compliant work areas, and potential penalties for shipping noncompliant products. LeadCheck swab kits are conveniently packaged in 8-packs so every station can be affordably equipped to prevent lead contamination from incoming and in-stock boards and components.
