FUSING CHARACTERISTIC
The resistors will fuse without the risk of fire and within an indicated range of overload. Fusing means that the resistive value of
the resistor increases at least 100 times.
TESTS AND REQUIREMENTS
Essentially all tests are carried out in accordance with the schedule of IEC 60115-1, category 55/155/56 (rated temperature range
- 55 to + 155 °C; damp heat, long term, 56 days) and along the lines of IEC 60068-2; “Recommended basic climatic and
mechanical robustness testing procedure for electronic components” and under standard atmosphere conditions according to
IEC 60068-1 subclause 5.3, unless otherwise specified. In some instances deviations from IEC applications were necessary for
our specified method.
Hot Spot Solder Spot
Hot spot temperature rise (ΔT) as a function
of dissipated power
Temperature rise (ΔT) at the lead end (soldering
point) as a function of dissipated power at various leads
lengths after mounting
