Techspray® Introduces Lead-Free / RoHS Products and Reference for Electronic Production

April 13, 2006

Lead Solder Test
Techspray’s new LeadCheck® swabs (2515-N) are a fast, easy-to-use method of testing components and solder joints for lead solder. Incoming components and boards, in addition to existing inventories, can be checked for RoHS compliance. This avoids mixed lead and lead-free inventories, lead contamination in RoHS compliant work areas, and potential penalties for shipping noncompliant products. LeadCheck swab kits are conveniently packaged in 8-packs so every station can be affordably equipped to prevent lead contamination from incoming and in-stock boards and components.
