Connector manufacturer leading the way to RoHS compliance

(San Jose, CA) - With less than a year before the RoHS mandated deadline for compliance, some companies are scrambling to make the transition to compliant parts. But Kycon, Inc., a San Jose based manufacturer of I/O interconnects, has taken a leadership role in the compliance effort by creating RoHS compliant equivalents for each of their parts, available now.

Kycon has dedicated a part of its website to RoHS compliant parts. Customers can now find real-time information to help them with their RoHS questions and requirements. Through a comprehensive cross-reference system, simply key in a non-RoHS part number and locate the corresponding equivalent RoHS compliant part. A click on the appropriate part delivers drawings, availability, small-quantity pricing, and Certificates of Compliance for RoHS. Customers can even order samples or request a quote in real-time.

President Chris Strangways states, "Kycon understands the importance of providing comprehensive information within the customer's timeframe. We are committed to enabling customers to find and extract the critical information they require through one visit to the website." And their customers recognize Kycon as an industry leader. With a #2 overall rank in the recent Bishop Report, Kycon's commitment to customer satisfaction is evident.

All of Kycon's products are available in RoHS compliant versions, and currently the majority of product groups have complete information available through www.kycon.com
