Legislation and Compliance
RoHS Certificate of Compliance
EU Directives 2011/65/EU and 2015/863 restrict the use of the 10 substances below in the manufacture of specified types of electrical equipment.
Whilst this restriction does not legally apply to components, it is recognised that component “compliance” is relevant to many customers.
RS definition of RoHS Compliance:
- The product does not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the Directive,
- and for components, the product is capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required by lead–free soldering
The restricted substances and maximum allowed concentrations in the homogenous material are, by weight:
| Substance | Concentration |
| Lead | 0.1% |
| Mercury | 0.1% |
| PBB (Polybrominated Biphenyls) | 0.1% |
| PBDE ( Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) | 0.1% |
| Hexavalent Chromium | 0.1% |
| Cadmium | 0.01% |
| DEHP (Bis (2-Ethylhexl) phthalate) | 0.1% |
| BBP (Benzyl butyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DBP (Dibutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DIBP (Diisobutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
The supplier of the item listed below has informed RS Components that the product is "RoHS Compliant".
RS Components has taken all reasonable steps to confirm this statement. Information relates only to products sold on or after the date of this certificate.

Product Details
1.25mm Wire to Board - Molex PicoBlade™
Molex 1.25 mm PicoBlade PCB and SMT Header Connectors - 53047, 53048, 53261 and 53398 Series
PicoBlade PCB through hole and SMT mount header connectors with a compact design and a 1.25 mm pitch. These PicoBlade headers form part of a wire to board interconnection system that offers PCB space savings of up to 45% compared to 2.00 mm wire to board systems. The PicoBlade connector system is also able to provide the same 1 A current as similar 2.00 mm pitch connector systems. The housings of these PicoBlade headers have locking windows which engage with two latching ramps in the crimp housing to produce a friction locking mechanism. This friction lock provides a secure mating connection and prevents accidental unmating caused by mishandling or vibration. The SMT PicoBlade headers feature solder tabs that provide a secure retention on the PCB and act as a strain relief for the SMT solder tails. This feature also helps prevent solder joints form cracking due to mishandling. These 1.25 mm PicoBlade PCB and SMT headers are available in vertical and right angle mounting configurations.
Features and Benefits
• 1 A current capability in a compact 1.25 mm pitch design
• PCB space saving of up to 45% compared to 2.00 mm pitch
• Friction locking mechanism for secure mating connection
• Solder tabs for secure PCB retention (SMT versions)
Product Application Information
The PicoBlade 1.25 mm interconnection system is designed for use in high density harness applications. Typical applications include automotive alarms systems and car audio, DVD players, industrial process controls and medical patient monitors.
