Total Parts Plus Introduces New RoHS Compliance Analysis Wizard

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla., Aug. 28, 2006 -- Total Parts Plus, a leading provider of obsolescence and environmental compliance management services announces the release of the "RoHS Compliance Analysis Wizard" within the Parts Plus Web Application.

The RoHS Compliance Analysis Wizard provides a user-friendly interface for quickly determining the current RoHS compliance status and for aggregating the supporting RoHS Compliant Certificates, which can be downloaded at the component level or for an entire Bill of Material. In addition, if a part number is not RoHS compliant, the Wizard will report the compliant alternate. An Analysis Report is also available and includes items such as Compliant Status, Lead-Finish, Moisture Sensitivity Level and Peak Reflow Temperature. Any one of these items can affect manufacturability.

"The RoHS Compliance Analysis Wizard will help our customers save weeks, perhaps months of man hours. Many companies are still collecting compliance data from their suppliers manually. The Wizard allows their engineers to streamline the data collection process and gives back the time needed to do their "real jobs," states Todd Montgomery, Vice President of Total Parts Plus.
