Conclusion

Rochester Electronics has contractual agreements with more than 60 manufacturers including Texas

Instruments, Intel, AMD, Analog Devices, and Fairchild. With these contracts in place, it allows Rochester

Electronics the ability to manufacture devices in the required package type, whether leaded, or RoHS compliant.

All components are 100% manufacturer traceable and certified, with a product offering that includes more than

300,000 Rochester-manufactured device types, from commercial to space-level. In addition, as a fully authorized

source, Rochester Electronics alleviates any concern of counterfeit devices. As the medical industry transitions

to RoHS compliancy, there is a growing concern that unauthorized devices may be marked as RoHS compliant

when they are not manufactured as such. Rochester Electronics can help company’s decrease the amount of

uncertainty they will face with the conversion from leaded to RoHS. By offering complete solutions for both

leaded and lead-free components, the original equipment manufacturers of medical systems are assured of

completed compliance, uninterrupted supply, and guaranteed authentic product.
