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)
.
ASSEMBLY
The resistors are suitable for processing on automatic SMD
assembly systems. They are suitable for automatic
soldering using 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.
