Are fasteners affected by RoHS? Print E-mail

Yes!

If fasteners are coated with one of these electroplated finishes, these parts may not be in compliance:

 

  • Zinc
  • Zinc & Yellow
  • Cadmium

 

Note: 

- Cadmium is specified on fasteners because of its conductivity and corrosion resistant properties

- Hexavalant Chromium (Cr6) is specified  in electroplating zinc as a conversion coating that enhances corrosion resistance

- There are alternate finishes available but these must be reviewed by your engineering dept. for performance and cost impacts
