The power derating curve is a guidance based on a conserva-
tive design model. The ULR is a solid metal alloy construc-
tion that can withstand significantly greater operating temper-
atures than the conservative model permits. The protective
coating will operate up to 260°C and the alloy can withstand
in exess of 350°C. Therefore, the system thermal design will
be a more significant design parameter due to the heat limita-
tions of the solder joint.

Construction
Black Type
Black Type
Green Type
A low TCR resistance alloy plate with plated connection bands is protectively coated and numerically marked with the resistance value,
as described in Product Marking. This version has standard plated connection and is suitable for wave or IR reflow soldering processes.
Green Type
A low TCR alloy plate is grooved to set the
fi
nal resistance. The lower faces are solder plated for connections, and the top surface is pro-
tectively coated and numerically marked with the resistance value, as described in Product Marking. This part is suitable for wave and IR
reflow soldering processes. Wave reflow requires the solder mask to be dimensioned according to page 2 using the W and D dimensions
of the part.
Product Marking
Part resistance is indicated by using two marking notation syles:
• 4-digit: R002 = 2 mΩ; R designates the decimal location in ohms.
• 3-digit: 1M5 = 1.5 mΩ; M designates the decimal location in milli-ohm.

The cumulative tolerance of 10 sprocket hole pitch is ± 0.2 mm.
Carrier camber shall not be more than 1 mm per 100 mm through a length of 250 mm.
A & B measured 0.3 mm from the bottom of the packet.
T measured at a point on the inside bottom of the packet to the top surface of the carrier.
Pocket position relative to sprocket hole is measured as the true position of the pocket and not the pocket hole.
