RoHS Compliance
Johanson Dielectrics, Inc. is fully committed to reducing the environmental impact of our products and totally supports the efforts of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive 2002/95/EC commonly referred to as RoHS.

Lead-Free Terminations

All standard terminations (JDI termination code "V") of our SMT components consist of 100% Tin plating in a matte finish over Nickel. Components with these terminations are capable of a 270°C maximum reflow temperature for a duration of 5 seconds and compatible with most common lead-free solder processes.


RoHS Compliance Roadmap
Johanson currently has an aggressive effort underway to achieve RoHS compliance for our entire line of SMT components.

Present Component RoHS Status
None of Johanson's components contain any of the following substances and it is our policy to prohibit their use in future designs:
• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
• Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
• Hexavalent Chromium
• Mercury

Most of Johanson's component offering currently meets RoHS guidelines concerning Lead and Cadmium. "Lead in electronic ceramic parts" is permitted by RoHS, however any Lead that is currently in JDI components is of extremely small mass. A portion of our components contain Cadmium beyond the permitted 100 ppm level.

Supply Chain
Some JDI MLCC components in the supply chain may not be RoHS compliant. Specific RoHS compliancy data by JDI part number is available on-line at http://www.johansondielectrics.com/environment/search/ In the case of part numbers which were not compliant in the past, a new compliant part number ending in -****-RC may be available.

Ordering Johanson part numbers using the "-****-RC" part number suffix when available will ensure RoHS compliancy.

JDI has established internal systems to track RoHS compliancy of all manufactured parts by lot and date code. Customers who cannot change their vendor part numbers but require RoHS compliant parts should communicate this clearly on all verbal and written communication when requesting product specifications, pricing, product availability and must communicate it in writing at the time of order placement.  Please DO NOT rely on mailed (posted) purchase order acknowledgements to communicate important order requirements as product is often shipped before hard copy documentation reaches and is processed by JDI.
