What about shipping labels for Pb-free products?
Per the labeling requirements of JEDEC standard JESD97, all of our standard
shipping labels on both intermediate and outer boxes clearly show whether or
not the products inside are RoHS compliant/Pb-free. Custom shipping labels are
also clearly marked. The 2LI stands for second-level interconnect and officially
signifies the lead finish does not contain lead. The e category denotes the
lead finish material.
The marking on the bar code label denotes Pb-free lead finish and qualified
compatibility with Pb-free board mount assembly processing. The MPN (Manufacturer
Part Number) bar code labels on the reel, tube or rail, and the intermediate
boxes have the Pb-free symbol in compliance to the JEDEC standard JESD97.
The bar code labels also include the RoHS = Y (yes) designation along with
the PB-free 2LI logo. This designation is being included to avoid any confusion
over our product being RoHS compliant. At ON Semiconductor RoHS compliant and
Pb-free are equal. However, we realize this is not the case industry wide so
both designations will be included. Bar code labels that were printed prior
to the Q306 release will remain with only the Pb-free 2LI logo designation.
All G-suffixed parts are Pb-free 2LI and are RoHS compliant.
In addition to meeting RoHS requirements, ON Semiconductor is pleased to announce
our compliance to China RoHS reporting requirements. Effective March 2007, our
shipping labels will contain additional information regarding hazardous material
content in order to comply with the China RoHS directive. ON’s packaging
labels will be modified to include the newly required China RoHS symbols. The
with
an 
will mean truly Pb free throughout the entire component. The 
symbol will be added to the labels of components that contain lead, either in
the termination finish or in the die attach. Parts may have the
RoHS=Y label, and the
symbol, meaning termination finish is lead (Pb) free, but the die attach contains
lead (Pb). Labels for parts that have leaded termination finish will now also
have the
symbol.
A Material Content Table is available in Chinese for all ON
orderable and root part numbers including die sales under the “China RoHS”
link on this site. Additional information regarding the China RoHS Directive
is also available at this link.
New Packaging Label Examples
Part has Pb free termination finish and is Pb free throughout component.
Pb free is yes, ROHS is yes, and China RoHS compliance is yes.
Part has Pb free termination finish but contains a leaded die attach.
Pb free is yes, ROHS is yes, and China RoHS compliance requires the 50 symbol.
