DESCRIPTION
The production of the components is strictly controlled and
follows an extensive set of instructions established for
reproducibility. A cermet film layer and a glass-over are
deposited on a high grade (AI
2
O
3
) ceramic substrate using a
mask to separate the adjacent resistors and conditioned to
achieve the desired temperature coefficient. Specially
designed inner contacts are realized on both sides. A
special laser is used to achieve the target value by smoothly
fine trimming 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 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. 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 wave, reflow or vapor phase as shown in
IEC 61760-1. 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 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.
