And then there's the capacitor manufacturer who changed the R suffix on
their part numbers to a Y to denote RoHS compliant but now they have
flushed their system they are reverting to an R suffix as all parts will
now be RoHS compliant.......... hey guys what about all your parts at
distributors, oh Y, R, Y, R, Y............

No you're not alone!! (is this forum getting like the Samaritans?)
My personal rant: You have the manufacturers who once said 6 months ago
they would be compliant by dec05, who when challenged now to supply
parts
say " no, you can order from January 2006 compliant parts..and the lead
time is 8 weeks". So in other words its march 06, hardly time for us
producers to flush the inventory into units. It also includes ones who
suddenly tell you delivery has slipped as they secretly find themselves
sitting on a shedfull of old stock they want to shift!
My other moan is over identification, basically if you are only
introducing compliant parts now then the only way to identify them is
with
a new suffix/part number/issue. I'm getting fed up of the suppliers who
say we will do it by date code...I say what date code.... is that when
its
becoming compliant or todays, as date codes mean nothing in RoHS as
every
supplier has a different one to release the compliant parts!!!!!! I'd
need to build a massive database listing all the good and bad date
codes!
Christmas bah humbug and all that!

Re: [LF] Lead-Free (RoHS) compliance dates
Not just your opinion.
I had the same response from a vendor this week. I almost reached
through
the
phoneline, down there throat and pulled their unmentionables back
through
the
line.
Seriously, if there are any component/hardware/connector/etc. vendors
listening
- get your act together. Saying you will be compliant by 7/1/06 is NOT
an
acceptable answer. Not supplying info on how we will identify compliant
parts
is NOT acceptable. You WILL lose customers if you continue with these
responses.
Feels good to get that off my chest!
Just another guy's warped opinion!
