New international trend capacitor industry dynamics

With the rapid development of modern science and technology, various electronic products are constantly emerging. On the one hand, they facilitate our lives and at the same time cause a certain degree of direct or indirect harm to our health. Mobile phones, computers, refrigerators, induction cookers, etc. are inseparable from our relationship. Young people, children, office workers and other young people will have contact every day!

The REACH Regulatory List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) has been increasing over the years. It was announced on June 27 this year, adding 10 new substances. So far, the list of SVHC candidates has increased to 191 substances. So do these substances have any effect on our safety capacitors, ceramic capacitors, high voltage capacitors, film capacitors, varistors and other electronic components? Let's discuss it together.

This new material focuses on "Lead", lead, CAS No. 7439-92-1; for metals, welding products, metal surface treatment products, polymers and thermal fluids. It is required to provide relevant information to consumers within 45 days when receiving consumer consultation, the content is >0.1% and the total amount of the substance entering the EU > 1 ton / year, need to be declared and notified. High-voltage capacitors, safety capacitors, and other manufacturing processes are indispensable for soldering, so lead is unavoidable. In fact, as early as 2006, when ROHS was introduced, there was already a limit on the use of lead.
