Jim - Other details aside, component manufacturers need to service the industries that produce products that are not exempted in Annex. I've heard rumor that some component manufacturers are anticipating removal of the indicated exemptions and are planning to eliminate Pb "tinned" components from

One does have to deal on occasion with questions from marketing and others…. I didn’t expect there would be any regulatory reason not to have power cords with different colors, other than possibly some obscure safety requirement for particular colors that I wasn’t aware of, hence my question. From

Peter, I placed a scanned PDF of the annex to an IRAM License issued in 2000 on the IEEE Communities website. It has the details of the IRAM Safety Mark, at least at that time. https://www.ieeecommunities.org/emc-pstc Of course it goes without saying that you need an IRAM Licence to use the

Hello all, I know of one power cord manufacturer who has made hot pink and fluorescent green colored power cord sets. The intended usage of these power cords was for the audio industry when they rack mounted products and wanted to tell what cables were power cords behind an instrument rack. Also,

Hi Jim There is some useful general information on the "Reliability and Failure Analisys" ("RFA") section of the ERA Technology Website @ http://www.era.co.uk/Services/RoHS.asp, and they Paul Goodman lead the RoHS activities and the preparation of some of the reports which the DTI is using as t

We were reading a copy of the RoHS that we retrieved from: http://www.dti.gov.uk/sustainability/pdfs/finalrohs.pdf and found it to be interesting. As a result we have questions, but first the key parts that raise the questions: In Article 4 / Prevention it says: 1. Member States shall ensure t

Ken, Good point and well noted. I appologise if I muddied the waters. I probably should have kept my mouth (keyboard?) shut because most of my background is FCC/EU emissions and antenna design/modeling. I didn't take well enough into account the specific MIL standard you quoted and your well s

One minor caveat to Mr. DeWitt. I was careful to talk about directivity and not gain. Gain implies power flowing into the antenna on a transmission line and power flowing out as a traveling wave. The ratio of power flowing out to in is the antenna efficiency, and that multiplied by the directivi
