DESCRIPTION
The resistors array is constructed in a high grade ceramic body (aluminum oxide). Internal metal electrodes are
added at each end and connected by a resistive paste that is applied to the top surface of the substrate. The
composition of the paste is adjusted to give the approximate resistance required and the value is trimmed to
within tolerance by laser cutting of this resistive layer.
The resistive layer is covered with a protective coat. Finally, the two external end terminations are added. For
ease of soldering the outer layer of these end terminations is a Tin (Pb free) solder alloy.

MARKING
3-digits marking for E24 series +/-1% , +/-5% products.
No marking for E96 series +/-1% , +/-5% products.
Each resistor is marked with a three digits code on the protective coating to designate the nominal resistance
value. For values of 10.0 or greater the first 2 digits apply to the resistance value and third digit indicates the
zeros of multiple to follow.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Product characterization
Standard values of nominal resistance are taken from the E24 series for resistors with a tolerance of
±5%,
The values of the E24 series are in accordance with “IEC publication 60063”
Standard values of nominal resistance are taken from the E24/E96 series for resistors with a tolerance of
±1%,
The values of the E24/E96 series are in accordance with “IEC publication 60063”
Derating
The power that the resistor can dissipate depends on the operating temperature; see Fig.3.

MOUNTING
Due to their rectangular shapes and small tolerances, Surface Mountable Resistors are suitable for handling by
automatic placement systems.
Chip placement can be on ceramic substrates and printed-circuit boards (PCBs).
Electrical connection to the circuit is by individual soldering condition.
The end terminations guarantee a reliable contact.
SOLDERING CONDITION
The robust construction of chip resistors allows them to be completely immersed in a solder bath of 260°C for 10
seconds. Therefore, it is possible to mount Surface Mount Resistors on one side of a PCB and other discrete
components on the reverse (mixed PCBs).
Surface Mount Resistors are tested for solderability at 235°C during 2 seconds. The test condition for no
leaching is 260°C for 30 seconds. Typical examples of soldering processes that provide reliable joints without
any damage are given in Fig 4.

TEST AND REQUIREMENTS
Essentially all tests are carried out according to the schedule of IEC publication 115-8, category
LCT/UCT/56(rated
temperature range :
Lower Category Temperature, Upper Category Temperature;
damp
heat, long term, 56 days). The testing also meets the requirements specified by EIA, EIAJ and JIS.
The tests are carried out in accordance with IEC publication 68, "Recommended basic climatic and mechanical
robustness testing procedure for electronic components" and under standard atmospheric conditions according
to IEC 60068-1, subclause 5.3. Unless otherwise specified, the following value supplied :
Temperature: 15°C to 35°C.
Relative humidity: 45% to 75%.
Air pressure: 86kPa to 106 kPa (860 mbar to 1060 mbar).
All soldering tests are performed with midly activated flux.
