Hi Folks,
When I am searching for components for one of my projects I came across parts that are ROHS compliant.
What is the difference between ROHS compliance parts and Pb free parts???
 

Re: ROHS & Pb free

To be RoHS compliant, the product must be Pb free, so actually they are very much the same. RoHs compliant products are meant for product made or shipped to the EU.
RoHs compliant parts are free of hazardous substances including lead, mercury, etc..
