What to check in this category

Gold and tin plating over nickel is standard here, and the REACH nickel release restriction only bites on articles in prolonged skin contact, which board level connectors are not. What does matter is the SVHC threshold of 0.1% by weight, and the article it applies to is the connector itself, not the finished assembly it sits in.

The exact part number or article range covered.
The issue date of the document.
