DESCRIPTION
Production is strictly controlled and follows an extensive set
of instructions established for reproducibility. A
homogeneous film of metal alloy is deposited on a high
grade ceramic body (Al
2
O
3
) and conditioned to achieve the
desired temperature coefficient. Nickel plated steel
termination caps are firmly pressed on the metallised rods.
A special laser is used to achieve the target value by
smoothly cutting a helical groove in the resistive layer
without damaging the ceramics. The resistor elements are
covered by a protective coating designed for electrical,
mechanical and climatic protection. The terminations
receive a final pure matte tin on nickel plating. Four or five
color code rings designate the resistance value and
tolerance in accordance with IEC 60062
(1)
.
The result of the determined production is verified by an
extensive testing procedure performed on 100 % of the
individual resistors. This includes full screening for the
elimination of products with a potential risk of early field
failures (feasible for R 10 ) according to EN 140401-803,
2.1.2.2. Only accepted products are laid directly into the
blister tape in accordance with IEC 60286-3, Type 2a
(1)
or
bulk case in accordance with IEC 60286-6
(1)
.
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 completely lead (Pb)-free, 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,
however, excellent solderability is proven after extended
storage in excess of 10 years. The permitted storage time is
20 years. The immunity of the plating against tin whisker
growth has been proven under extensive testing.

APPROVALS
The resistors are approved within the IECQ-CECC Quality
Assessment System for Electronic Components according
to table “Temperature Coefficient and Resistance Range” to
the detail specification EN 140401-803 which refers to
EN 60115-1, EN 60115-8 and the variety of environmental
test procedures of the IEC 60068
(1)
series.
Conformity is attested by the use of the CECC logo ( ) as
the mark of conformity on the package label. 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.
The resistors are qualified according to AEC-Q200.
