Notes for Handling RoHS compliant Discrete Semiconductors
RoHS (EU 2002/95/EC) status is stated on the <C3 label> which is on the outer box,
inner boxes and reels.
There is a “X” mark on the Pb character if it is RoHS compliant part, none-RoHS compliant
part will show a Pb character without a “X”.
Since it is not possible to state the RoHS status for each semiconductor part,
it is difficult to distinguish its RoHS status once a box is opened and mixed together.
Please keep this in mind, that there are some parts which are not RoHS compliant part
such as discontinued, maintenance and custom made type.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to keep RoHS compliant part away from non-RoHS
compliant part.
