Molex Offers REACH SVHC Data and RoHS Certificate of Compliance for Every Published Part on Molex.com

Molex.com visitors now have immediate access to necessary environmental
requirement information to support product purchases
LISLE, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX and MOLXA) announced today a new update to its
website that allows users to easily find REACH (Registration, Evaluation,
Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) substance information and a RoHS
(Restriction on the Use of Hazardous Material) certificate of compliance for
every part published on Molex.com.

The Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals Regulation,
otherwise known as REACH, requires substances manufactured in or imported into
the European Union to be registered. It is not specifically a product substance
restriction requirement like RoHS, but rather a regulation that is designed to
ensure substances have been properly evaluated and registered and to notify
end-users of any products which may contain Substances of Very High Concern
(SVHC).

Users can find the REACH SVHC content for each part number in the product
environmental compliance section on the right-hand side of the part number
datasheet. Users will find listed either `Contains SVHC: No` or a detailed list
of each SVHC contained in the part.

In addition, users can download a PDF file of the RoHS certificate of compliance
that lists the RoHS compliance status for every part number online. The
certificate can be found on the list view results screen or on the part number
datasheet in the link marked 'RoHS Certificate of Compliance (PDF)'.

"The ability for customers to easily find important environmental product
information on Molex.com is very important to us," said Joel Eurich, global
environmental, health & safety manager, Molex Incorporated. "REACH and RoHS data
is essential to making the right product purchase and we hope the new,
easy-to-use update on our site will save our customers time."

Currently, users can only download the certificate by part number, but by the
end of the year, customers will be able to get a RoHS certificate of compliance
for a list of part numbers. Then, users will be able to copy a list of Molex
part numbers into the site and receive back a PDF with all of the part numbers'
RoHS compliance status listed in a part table.

To find Molex`s position statement regarding REACH and other environmental
topics, please visit Molex`s ECOCARE site at www.molex.com/eco-care.html.
