Definitions of RoHS Compliant Products

Pb-free

Mindspeed products that contain ≤ 0.1% lead by weight in homogeneous materials and can withstand 245C-260C maximum temperature profile per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C.

Green (RoHS compliant)

Mindspeed products that contain ≤ 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyls ethers (PBDE) and ≤ 0.01% for Cadmium and that meets the recommended maximum reflow temperature in accordance with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C.

RoHS Compliant with Exemption

Mindspeed products that meet the definition of Green (RoHS compliant) with the exemption of lead in solder bumps.

Homogeneous Material

Homogeneous material means of uniform composition, examples are individual types of plastics, ceramics, metals, alloys, paper, board, resins and coatings and mechanically disjointed means that materials can be, in principle, separated by mechanical actions such as unscrewing, cutting, crushing, grinding and abrasive processes. A semi-conductor package contains many homogeneous materials i.e. the impurity limit does NOT apply to entire component.
