Pb-free product availability

ON Semiconductor has qualified the majority of our packages in the Pb-free version and have made them available for sampling and production ordering. The list below shows the packages that have been qualified and the few remaining with their targeted completion dates. Please contact your ON Semiconductor Sales Representative if this schedule does not meet your conversion needs or if you want to order Pb-free samples.

ON Semiconductor is fully compliant with the RoHS directive for all of the parts for which it makes business sense to do so. In other words, ON offers Pb-free versions of all of the parts for which there is sufficient demand. We will also continue to offer all of these parts in a standard Tin-Lead (SnPb) lead finish until market conditions necessitate a change in direction.

*** All of our G-suffix packages are certified to be Pb-free and RoHS compliant. ***

Important note: When we - and most companies - refer to a product being "Pb-free", it is specifically in relation to the lead finish. Pb-free means there is no lead (Pb) in the lead finish. RoHS allows Pb in high temperature internal die-attach used to adhere the chip to the package substrate. Efforts are being made in the industry to come up with alternative die attach materials, but until such time as they are available, we will continue to use Pb in high temperature die attach applications.

ON Semiconductor will offer a Pb-free solution as well as its existing Tin-Lead (SnPb) lead finish on a package by package basis. Currently 98% of ON Semiconductor's unit volume has been qualified as Pb-free and meets the 260ºC reflow requirements.
