The 102°C heat rise shown here would indicate there will be additional thermal reduction techniques needed to keep this part under
105°C total hot spot temperature if this part is to be used at 0.75 watts of power. However, this same part at the usual power rating for
this size would have a heat rise of around 72°C. This additional heat rise may be dealt with using wider conductor traces, larger solder
pads and land patterns under the solder mask, heavier copper in the conductors, via through PCB, air movement, and heat sinks,
among many other techniques. Because of the variety of methods customers can use to lower the effective heat rise of the circuit,
resistor manufacturers simply specify power ratings with the limitations on ambient air temperature and total hot spot temperatures and
leave the details of how to best accomplish this to the design engineers. Design guidelines for products in various market segments
can vary widely so it would be unnecessarily constraining for a resistor manufacturer to recommend the use of any of these methods
over another.
Note: The final resistance value can be affected by the board layout and assembly process, especially the size of the mounting pads and the amount
of solder used. This is especially notable for resistance values ≤ 50 mΩ.
This should be taken into account when designing.
RoHS Compliance
Stackpole Electronics has joined the worldwide effort to reduce the amount of lead in electronic components and to meet
the various regulatory requirements now prevalent, such as the European Union’s directive regarding “Restrictions on
Hazardous Substances” (RoHS 3). As part of this ongoing program, we periodically update this document with the status
regarding the availability of our compliant components. All our standard part numbers are compliant to EU Directive
2011/65/EU of the European Parliament as amended by Directive (EU) 2015/863/EU as regards the list of restricted
substances.
“Conflict Metals” Commitment
We at Stackpole Electronics, Inc. are joined with our industry in opposing the use of metals mined in the “conflict region”
of the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in our products. Recognizing that the supply chain for metals
used in the electronics industry is very complex, we work closely with our own suppliers to verify to the extent possible
that the materials and products we supply do not contain metals sourced from this conflict region. As such, we are in
compliance with the requirements of Dodd-Frank Act regarding Conflict Minerals.
Compliance to “REACH”
We certify that all passive components supplied by Stackpole Electronics, Inc. are SVHC (Substances of Very High
Concern) free and compliant with the requirements of EU Directive 1907/2006/EC, “The Registration, Evaluation,
Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals”, otherwise referred to as REACH. Contact us for complete list of REACH
Substance Candidate List.
