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 Lead-tin or Tin (Pb free) alloy.

Marking
Each resistor is marked with a four-digit code on the protective coating to designate the nominal
resistance value.
Example:
1R00 = 1Ω
1001 = 1000Ω
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 one minute.
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 60
seconds. Typical examples of soldering
processes that provide reliable joints without
any damage are given in Fig 3.
