DESCRIPTION
The resistors are 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
nominated value within tolerance which controlled by laser trimming 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 (lead free) alloy.

MARKING
Each resistor is marked with a four-digit (WF25P;WF20P,WF12P
±1%)
and three-digit
(WF25P,WF20P,WF12P
±5%)
code on the protective coating to designate the nominal resistance value.
Example:
102 = 1kΩ
16R0 = 16Ω

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Product characterization
Standard values of nominal resistance are taken from the E96 & E24 series for resistors with a tolerance of
±5%
&
±1%.
The values of the E24/E96 series are in accordance with “IEC publication 60063”.
Derating curve
The power that the resistor can dissipate depends on the operating temperature; see Fig.2

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 3.
