Eg the BTA41-600B :
Anyone know for sure what the insulation material used is ?
Beryllium oxide ?

Interesting question, as it appears they've decided BeO isn't all that bad from an RoHS perspective.
Here's at least one counter-example:
Alumina is used as the insulator.

Only the dust from BeO is a problem. In the early '70's I used a lot of it in my hybrid designs. However I had all the sawing done by a house that specialized in that task. ...Jim Thompson
