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
Carbon Film Resistors 0.25W
The RS PRO series of carbon film axial leaded resistors offer excellent long term stability and feature standard solder-plated copper leads. The carbon film is the most common axial leaded resistor which is used for applications where a very good tolerance and temperature coefficient are not necessary.
A comprehensive range of high stability carbon film resistors qualified and tested to the requirements of IEC 115 and IEC 115-2. The ruggedised welded cap and lead method of manufacture provides a considerable strength and resistance to damage. The coating materials and the colour bands are epoxy resin and are highly resistant to solvents, abrasion and chipping. Improvements in materials and processing have allowed the rated power to be improved. Excellent stability against changes in load conditions or moisture levels, with a low noise level and high reliability make these carbon film resistors suitable for a wide range of applications. Rated at 70°C in free air mounted horizontally. Climatic category 55/155/56.

Benefits of Carbon Composition
Carbon composition resistors are made from a moulded carbon powder that has been mixed with a phenolic resin to bind and create a uniform resistive body. It is then surrounded in an insulating case after attaching end leads.
Carbon composition resistors are used in applications in which the initial tolerance does not need to be any closer than +/- 5% of the value.
What does the power rating mean?
The power rating of a resistor describes the amount of power that the resistor can dissipate safely.
What do the colours mean?
Each of the colour bands has a specific meaning. The first two colours give the base value of the resistor, the next gives the multiplier and the final band the tolerance. If a resistor has five bands, it is a more precise resistor, in which the first three bands represent the base values, and the fourth and fifth represent the multiplier and tolerance respectively.
