RoHS Compliance
American Probe & Technologies offers a variety of products that meet global needs; some of these products can be ordered in versions that do not meet some geographic regions. This is the case in offering RoHS and non RoHS versions of some of APT’s products. It is the responsibility of the ordering party to confirm the products are in compliance with the point of use territories.
