Probably a dumb question but...
If my companies products are to be 100% RoHS compliant with no exemptions, do I have to make sure I do not buy components that say they are RoHS compliant but have a lead exemption?
For instance: Our product claims lead-free but one of the capacitors on a PCB in the product is RoHS compliant with a lead exemption. Would I have to get rid of this component or can I keep it? My first thought is get rid of it because that would put lead in my product and we don't have an exemption for lead. But my second thought is I can keep it because the component is still RoHS compliant.
Does anyone know the answer to this?
