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 metallized 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 tin on nickel plating. Four or six color
code bands 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)
.
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 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.
