The RoHS directive, introduced by the European Union in 2003, was designed to restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Specifically, it limits the presence of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in manufacturing. RoHS-compliant products, including solenoid valves, are those that are made without or with minimal amounts of these hazardous materials.

    Solenoid valves are electrical devices that control the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a system. They function through an electromagnetic mechanism that opens or closes a valve, allowing for precise control of fluid movement. These valves are widely used in industrial automation, HVAC systems, and other fields where fluid control is crucial. A RoHS-compliant solenoid valve is manufactured with materials that meet the environmental and health safety standards, ensuring that the products are not only efficient but also safe for both users and the environment.
