LeadCheck Swabs Circuit Board Test Kits contain all of the materials required to test printed circuit boards, electrical leads, or any small solder connections for the presence of lead. The direct test method can be used to quickly screen larger soldered areas. The indirect method allows testing of tiny solder connections without leaving any chemical residue behind.
LeadCheck Swabs are based on the reactivity of lead with certain compounds capable of forming strongly colored complexes with lead. When LeadCheck Swabs are used; a pink color that is specific for lead develops within 30 seconds and is stable for hours.
On July 1, 2006 European Union legislation mandating a reduction of lead and other hazardous chemicals1 in electronic equipment (RoHS) goes into effect. Manufacturers of electronic components must comply with this legislation if they wish to sell products in the European market. LeadCheck Swabs Circuit Board Test Kits offer a rapid, low cost method for screening small components for lead containing solder.
