CONEC GOES LEAD FREE

CONEC is taking a major step forward: 100% lead-free – sustainable, safe, and responsible.
At CONEC, sustainability is more than just a quality promise – it is a core part of who we are. As an international manufacturer of connectivity solutions, we take responsibility: for resources, for our environment, and for a future-ready supply chain.

That is why we are converting our entire product portfolio to lead-free materials by December 31, 2026, at the latest. From January 1, 2027, all CONEC products will be manufactured 100% lead-free.

Why this step?

The RoHS Directive limits the use of hazardous substances such as lead to a maximum of 0.1 wt%. Exemption 6(c) (copper alloys containing up to 4% lead) will expire in mid-2027.

For us, this means taking proactive action rather than waiting to react.

Our goal is clear: protect the environment, reduce risks, and provide our customers with safe and compliant products for the long term.

Key Facts – Quality without compromise

Every detail has been carefully evaluated to ensure maximum safety:

✔ Every product analyzed, tested, and approved
✔ Every raw material carefully selected and validated
✔ Every production step reviewed and optimized
✔ 100% lead-free & fully RoHS compliant – ahead of the regulatory deadline

This rigorous approach ensures that our products continue to deliver the high quality, reliability, and durability you expect from CONEC – now with an even stronger focus on sustainability. 💚

What does this mean for our customers?

• Maximum product safety and long-term availability
• Early, risk-free regulatory compliance

Do you have further questions, want to place an additional order for our current products, or need a lead‑free version of an item earlier than scheduled?
