Apacer announces world's first green module

Love the Earth, Lead-free Engineering

Apacer today announces the world's first green module to promote a pollution-free living environment. By focusing on lead-free engineering, Apacer advocates semiconductor manufacturers to use lead-free parts and adopt lead-free processes, thus creating a clean and beautiful world for memory module users worldwide and to realize the vision of enjoying a digital life.

While organizations worldwide, such as the WEEE, RoHS, NEDO and NEMI, are proposing measures to restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, Apaer cares customers and realizes the water and air pollution that is brought by lead will endanger the living environment of users. Jin-xi Jan, VP of Apacer, said "we do our best to develop lead-free technology in memory module manufacture, as an action to show our love for the earth."

By strategic alliance with key component suppliers, Apacer uses lead-free DRAM, lead-free PCB and lead-free resistors and capacitors to ensure that all green modules conform to the lead-free requirements and pass relevant certifications. According to Mr. Tang Kai Choon, Senior Director of Memory Product, Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific, "by supporting the green module solution of Apacer, we supply DDR chips to Apacer, which will be lead-free. " Hironori Kobayashi, Quality Assurance Division General Manager of ADTEC Corporation (Japanese Memory Module manufacturer) maintained, "we recognize the idea of a green module, and we believe that the combination of our green PCB and Apacer's lead-free process will win favor in the world PC market, starting from Japan and Asian region. "
Apacer's green module range includes DDR DIMM and DDR SODIMM modules for desktop, notebook and server PCs. Apacer also ensures that these high-quality and high-performance green modules are produced by a green process. We are the first module manufacturer to use high-tech nitrogen equipment to ensure the maximum yield rate and absolute lead-free process. Moreover, we have trained professional engineers to control the constant temperature curve of the process and reinforced rear side production testing.

As a dedicated memory device application and service provider, Apacer became the world's fourth biggest memory module manufacturer in 1998. To realize the vision of enjoying a digital life, Apacer integrates hardware and software core technologies and design engineering to develop all kinds of IT and IA memory devices, covering memory modules for desktop, notebook and server PCs and various information appliances. Apacer is committed to make life more colorful.
