Technical Reference
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
Linear Voltage Regulators, Texas Instruments
A range of fixed and adjustable Linear Voltage regulators from Texas Instruments. The range includes both positive and negative polarity devices with output current ratings from 100mA up to 5A.
LM338 Linear Voltage Regulator, Texas Instruments
Adjustable linear voltage regulators from Texas Instruments capable of supplying more than 5A at an output voltage of 1.25 V to 32 V. The LM338 devices include short-circuit protection, current limiting and thermal overload protection and offer outstanding load and line regulation. The regulators are robust and easy-to-use with only two resistors required to set the output voltage. The LM338 is available in two package options: LM338K in a steel TO-3 case and LM338T in a TO-220 plastic package.
