Notes:
1.Black coating = wave or IR reflow soldering; Green coating = IR reflow solder. Wave reflow - solder mask must match the W and D dimensions on page 2
of data sheet. 2Non-standard resistance values available (contact factory). For resistance values above 20 mΩ, please refer to our LRC / LRF series.
3 Package sizes 2010 and 1206 with the green coating are uncoated on the top surface and unmarked for resistance value.

Construction
Black 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 protectively 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.
Power Derating Curve

The power derating curve is a guidance based on a
conservative design model. The ULR is a solid metal
alloy construction that can withstand significantly greater
operating temperatures than the conservative model per-
mits. 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 limitations of the solder joint.

Note 1:
Package volume excludes external
terminals (balls, bumps, lands, leads) and/or
non-integral heat sinks.
Note 2:
The maximum component temperature
reached during reflow depends on package
thickness and volume. The use of convection
reflow processess reduces the thermal gradients
between packages. However, thermal gradients
due to differences in thermal mass of SMD pack-
ages may still exist.
Note 3:
Components intended for use in “lead-
free” assembly process shall be evaluated using
the “lead-free” peak temperature and profiles
defined in Table 1, 2 and reflow profile whether
or not lead-free.
