APPLICATION INFORMATION
When the resistor dissipates power, a temperature rise above the ambient temperature occurs, dependent on the thermal
resistance of the assembled resistor together with the printed circuit board. The rated dissipation applies only if the permitted
film temperature is not exceeded.
These resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when operated within the permissible limits. However, resistance value drift
increasing over operating time may result in exceeding a limit acceptable to the specific application, thereby establishing a
functional lifetime.

Note
• The presented operation modes do not refer to different types of resistors, but actually show examples of different loads, that lead to
different film temperatures and different achievable load-life stability (drift) of the resistance value. A suitable low thermal resistance of the
circuit board assembly must be safeguarded in order to maintain the film temperature of the resistors within the specified limits. Please
consider the application note “Thermal Management in Surface-Mounted Resistor Applications” (www.vishay.com/doc?28844) for
information on the general nature of thermal resistance.

DESCRIPTION
Production is strictly controlled and follows an extensive
set of instructions established for reproducibility. A
homogeneous film of special metal alloy is deposited on a
high grade ceramic substrate (Al
2
O
3
) and conditioned to
achieve the desired temperature coefficient. Specially
designed inner contacts are deposited on both sides. A
special laser is used to achieve the target value by smoothly
cutting a meander groove in the resistive layer without
damaging the ceramics. The resistor elements are covered
by a unique protective coating designed for electrical,
mechanical and climatic protection. The terminations
receive a final pure matte tin on nickel plating.
The result of the determined production is verified by an
extensive testing procedure and optical inspection
performed on 100 % of the individual chip resistors. This
includes full screening for the elimination of products with
potential risk of early field failures (feasible for
R
10
).
Only accepted products are laid directly into the paper tape
in accordance with
IEC 60286-3 Type 1a
(1)
.
Vishay Beyschlag
Hence the products fully comply with the following
directives:
• 2000/53/EC End-of-Life Vehicle Directive (ELV) and
Annex II (ELV II)
• 2011/65/EU Restriction of the Use of Hazardous
Substances
Directive
(RoHS)
with
amendment
2015/863/EU
• 2012/19/EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive (WEEE)
Vishay pursues the elimination of conflict minerals from its
supply chain, see the Conflict Minerals Policy at
www.vishay.com/doc?49037.
APPROVALS
The resistors are approved within the IECQ-CECC Quality
Assessment System for Electronic Components to the detail
specification
EN 140401-801
which refers to
EN 60115-1,
EN 60115-8
and the variety of environmental test
procedures of the
IEC 60068
(1)
series. The detail
specification refers to the climatic categories 55/125/56,
which relates to the “standard operation mode” of this
datasheet.
Conformity is attested by the use of the
CECC
logo (
) as
the mark of conformity on the package label.
The resistors are qualified according to AEC-Q200.
Vishay
Beyschlag
has
achieved
“Approval
of
Manufacturer”
in accordance with
IECQ 03-1.
The release
certificate for
“Technology Approval Schedule”
in
accordance with
CECC 240001
based on
IECQ 03-3-1
is
granted for the Vishay Beyschlag manufacturing process.
ASSEMBLY
The resistors are suitable for processing on automatic SMD
assembly systems. They are suitable for automatic
soldering using wave, reflow or vapor phase as shown in
IEC 61760-1
(1)
. The encapsulation is resistant to all
cleaning solvents commonly used in the electronics
industry, including alcohols, esters and aqueous solutions.
The suitability of conformal coatings, potting compounds
and their processes, if applied, shall be qualified by
appropriate means to ensure the long-term stability of the
whole system.
The resistors are RoHS-compliant; the pure matte tin plating
provides
compatibility
with
lead
(Pb)-free
and
lead-containing soldering processes. Solderability is
specified for 2 years after production or requalification. The
permitted storage time is 20 years. The immunity of the
plating against tin whisker growth has been proven under
extensive testing.
