EECO Switch is fully committed to complying with the current European directives regarding Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Lead-Free electronic components.  In response to these directives, we have developed a lead-free plating alternative. RoHS compliant products be available beginning September 1, 2005.  Lead-Free compliance will involve converting to a matte tin-based plating process on switches currently using a traditional tin-lead solder plating.

EECO Switch Series converting to Lead-Free are::

2300 and 3500 Series Micro-DIP products

2100 & 2700 Series StripSwitch products.

1776/1976 Series Thumbwheel products. (All compliant as of 10/01/06).

All other EECO Switch and Keypad products are already Lead-Free and RoHS compliant and are not affected by the European directives.  

This is planned as an across the board change for  the series affected.  EECO will maintain the current part numbering scheme in use.  All RoHS complaint parts will be clearly identified by a logo on the part, and by a label on the shipping tube.
