AVX To Convert Multilayer Varistors To Lead-free Finish
May 29, 2003 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Myrtle Beach, S.C. — In response to customer requests for lead-free products, AVX Corp. is converting its multilayer varistors to a lead-free plated finish.
The new plating will be available on MLVs produced at all AVX North American facilities by October 1, 2003. MLVs manufactured at the Dijon, France facility will be available with a similar lead-free finish before the end of 2003.
Testing reportedly indicates that parts with the new lead-free finish meet or exceed all electrical, physical and reliability test requirements. Additionally, the lead-free parts are backward compatible with existing solder assembly profiles designed for lead-bearing parts.
The change will also include AntennaGuard, CAN BUS, MultiGuard, StaticGuard, TransFeed, TransGuard and UltraGuard devices. However, AVX will continue to provide the lead-bearing finish beyond the transition period for customers who specifically require it.
AVX Corp. is the international technology leader in passive components. For more information, visit www.avxcorp.com.
