To access the service, engineers have to have an account with Farnell InOne and email their BoM, in Excel of spreadsheet format, to a team of specially trained technicians who will match the list of products to RoHS compliant components. The service should be fast and hassle free with BOMs being turned around within 48 hours. With new RoHS components becoming available all the time, the BoM conversion service allows engineers access to the very latest product lines and provides up-to-the-minute information about RoHS products coming soon.
