Many product families never contained any banned substances
and have always complied with RoHS regulations. We have changed the part numbers
of these components, using the letter “L” in one of the last two positions to
positively identify the parts as RoHS-compliant.
After August
1, 2005, only the new part numbers are being used.
It is
important to remember that only the part numbers were changed; these parts have
always been RoHS-compliant and no changes were made to their construction.

were changed to make them RoHS-compliant
Summary
 The
new part numbers contain the letter “L” to indicate RoHS compliance
Non-compliant
versions were phased out after August 1, 2005
Old
parts will be available only until inventory is depleted
Some product
families required changes to their construction to make them RoHS-compliant.
These new RoHS versions are available now. Coilcraft phased out the old versions
after August 1, 2005.
The part
numbers for these new compliant products contain the letter “L” as one of the
last two characters. Since August 1, Coilcraft has produced and stocked only the
RoHS-compliant versions of these products. The old non-compliant parts will be
available until our inventory is depleted.
The
Material Declaration Data Sheets
on our web site provide details on the constituent materials and terminations of
these components. If requalification is required, free samples are available
here.
Parts that
will not be made RoHS-compliant
For some current Coilcraft products, there are no current plans to have an
RoHS-compliant alternative. These parts will continue to be produced as long as
there is demand.
Customer
part numbers
Customers can decide whether they wish to issue new part numbers for
RoHS-compliant parts, but they will have to change their internal
cross-references to Coilcraft numbers.
