Q. Since July 1st we now need to receive only RoHS compliant stock. Most of the 19" rack or slice panels, designed for our cable assemblies, were originally specified with a yellow chromate finish on steel. One of our suppliers is now asking if they can use Iridite. Is this RoHS compliant and how does it differ from standard yellow chromate?

A. Jason - Colorado Springs, Colorado publicly reply to Willie Alexander A. Iridite* is a chemical name like Alodine*, no different from your standard yellow chromate. metal finishing - San Jose, California, USA publicly reply to Bill Grayson A. Iridite is a brand name and comes in many different types. Some of these are RoHS compliant, some are not. Better ask your supplier about the exact product they are using. You can then request the information from the manufacturers as to whether the product is RoHS compliant. Aerospace - Yeovil, Somerset, UK publicly reply to Brian Terry |
