RoHS Compliant Hybrid Devices
The following Apex hybrid devices are RoHS compliant in both standard and A grades (e.g. the PA51 is listed; therefore, the PA51 and the PA51A are both compliant). For listed Voltage Regulators (VRE###), any devices listed are compliant in all grades (e.g. VRE100 is listed; therefore VRE100C, VRE100CA, VRE100M and VRE100MA are all compliant). Unless otherwise noted by a date, all devices below have been compliant since July 1, 2006, or earlier:

PA01 PA02 PA04 PA05

Additional Information Regarding RoHS Compliance

  1. Due to the high power performance of Apex Precision Power products, a significant number of customer applications involve large-scale stationary industrial tools. The use of Apex products in “large scale industrial tools” is exempt under the RoHS directive, even if the product contains levels of RoHS prohibited materials higher than otherwise allowed. Please refer to websites such as www.rohs.gov.uk/content.aspx?id=15 for specific details regarding this exemption.
     
  2. At this time, Cirrus anticipates that certain Apex models will remain non-compliant due to physical or customer requirements. These models include PA03, PA03A, M/883 compliant devices, and ‘M’ grade devices (except for VRE series M grades).
     
  3. Cirrus understands the lead and cadmium used in thickfilm hybrid applications (except for the VRE/SWR series) is exempt per points 5 and 38 respectively of the 2002/95/EC Annex. The VRE/SWR series are similarly exempt per points 5 and 8 of the 2002/95/EC Annex.
     
  4. Models marked with a * are expected to become compliant in the July-September 2010 timeframe.
