As an international manufacturer of connectivity solutions, we take responsibility: for resources, for our environment, and for a future-ready supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why this step?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>For us, this means taking proactive action rather than waiting to react.<\/p>\n<p>Our goal is clear: protect the environment, reduce risks, and provide our customers with safe and compliant products for the long term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Facts \u2013 Quality without compromise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every detail has been carefully evaluated to ensure maximum safety:<\/p>\n<p>\u2714 Every product analyzed, tested, and approved<br \/>\n\u2714 Every raw material carefully selected and validated<br \/>\n\u2714 Every production step reviewed and optimized<br \/>\n\u2714 100% lead-free &amp; fully RoHS compliant \u2013 ahead of the regulatory deadline<\/p>\n<p>This rigorous approach ensures that our products continue to deliver the high quality, reliability, and durability you expect from CONEC \u2013 now with an even stronger focus on sustainability. \ud83d\udc9a<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does this mean for our customers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Maximum product safety and long-term availability<br \/>\n\u2022 Early, risk-free regulatory compliance<\/p>\n<p>Do you have further questions, want to place an additional order for our current products, or need a lead\u2011free version of an item earlier than scheduled?<br \/>\nWe look forward to hearing from you at +49 2941 765\u2011671 or by email at <a href=\"mailto:salesteam@conec.com\">salesteam@conec.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; well ahead of the legal deadline CONEC is taking a major step forward: 100% &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19485,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/conec.dckc.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/conec.dckc.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/conec.dckc.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conec.dckc.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conec.dckc.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19519"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/conec.dckc.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19519\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19529,"href":"https:\/\/conec.dckc.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19519\/revisions\/19529"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conec.dckc.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/conec.dckc.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conec.dckc.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conec.dckc.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
