CONEC goes 100 percent lead-free
To live up to this commitment, CONEC will convert its entire product portfolio to fully lead-free materials by December 31, 2026 – and will manufacture 100 percent lead-free starting January 1, 2027. CONEC is thus compliant with the European RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, which restricts the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. For lead, the maximum limit is 0.1 % by weight. Although exemption 6c currently still permits the use of copper alloys containing up to 4 % lead, this exemption will expire in mid-2027.
The complete transition to lead-free products means high product safety and long-term availability for customers, full legal compliance, a sustainable material sourcing for an environmentally responsible supply chain, and full transparency regarding materials, manufacturing, and quality standards.
