Our part database includes semiconductors, passives and electromechanical components using partial or complete part numbers. Select relevant attributes on all product types for hundreds of categories.

Parametrically search and cross reference 1 Billion electronic components, including: semiconductors, passives and electromechanical components using partial or complete part numbers search. Select relevant attributes on all product types for hundreds of categories. review historical datasheets and PCNs available on your components. Gain an in-depth look into electronic component lifecycle statuses, Compliance data, alternatives and proactively manage obsolecence, available, environmental compliance data, with future benfits by knowing the focasted lifecycle for components. Obtain comprehensive data on current environmental regulations such as REACH and RoHS directives, including full material declarations. Years to end of life forecasts are calculated using advanced lifecycle algorithms, allowing users to make better component selection decisions. Certificates of Compliance (CoCs), Material Declarations and Product Change Notifications (PCNs) are also associated at the part number level.

BOM Grading offers automated part recommendations to effectively improve BOM grades and increase productivity. Each part indicating a high risk is paired with recommendations for alternate parts to increase the health of the BOM. Users can enhance productivity by solving significant issues and showing multi-sourcing options in one single view, eliminating the need for multiple Excel sheets. Customizable to specific company needs, the Advanced Risk reporting feature creates easily shared and exportable risk reports.

SiliconExperts’ Compliance Module enables users to manage environmental and supply chain compliance requirements. The module covers chemical regulations ranging from EU REACH and RoHS, Prop65 to conflict minerals and much more. Companies can leverage tools within the P⁵ Platform to automate their supply chain data collection efforts as well as build customer and regulatory reporting forms to meet customer requests. The solution is fully enterprise integrated, enabling transparent synchronization of BOM and material data and supports the major PLM/ERP systems on the market. SiliconExpert actively monitors more than 20 regulations to ensure the P⁵ Platform is always current to reflect today’s regulatory landscape and scales to meet tomorrow’s challenges and rule changes.

There are 10 in total: Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr VI), Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE), Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), Di isobutyl phthalate (DIBP) 

Cadmium (#7440-43-9), Lead (#7439-92-1), Mercury (#7439-97-6), Hexavalent Chromium (#18540-29-9) 

Certain exemptions are allowed from RoHS restrictions under article 5(1). For instance, Mercury is allowed in intravascular ultrasound imaging as a lubricating conductive material in the electric rotating connectors. 

Fines vary by region and location of the infraction. German enforcement gives fines of up to €30,000 Euros and a maximum of 1 year of imprisonment to the importer of the non-compliant goods. The US Environmental Protection Agency may prohibit non-compliant products from entering the market or may recall non-compliant products. 

RoHS focuses on EEE (Electronic and Electrical Equipment) and covers products from home appliances and electronics to tools and two-wheeled electric vehicles. REACH covers any and all goods on the European market, regulating 224 chemical substances which pose a risk to exposure during the whole lifetime of the product. 

REACH’s SVHC list is updated every 6 months. 

Penalties can include fines and imprisonment. Fines may total up to €30,000 Euros and up to 4 years of imprisonment. 

Substances identified as causing cancer are given a metric called “No Significant Risk Level” (NSRL). This means that exposure to the amount of chemical in a product would result in no more than one case of cancer out of every 100,000 individuals who were exposed to the chemical over a 70-year time period. Measured in µg per day. 

Penalties can include fines and imprisonment. The business can be subject to civil penalties of up to $2,500 per day for each violation. 

Conflict mineral reporting is done at the supplier level. When a manufacturer sources parts from multiple suppliers, a “Roll Up Report” must be done of all conflict mineral reports (CMRT) into a single template. 

Companies publicly traded in the USA or selling products on the United States market must comply with the Dodd-Frank Act and report on conflict mineral usage. 

Minerals and metals can be traced to the suppliers and even the smelters where they have been refined. Each smelter is audited and reports on their conflict status.
