THE PRODUCTS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND THIS DOCUMENT ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIFIC DISCLAIMERS, SET FORTH AT www.vishay.com/doc?91000
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 (Al2O3) and conditioned to achieve the desired
temperature stability. Nickel plated steel terminations are
firmly pressed on the metallised rods. A special laser is used
to achieve the target value by smoothly cutting in the
resistive layer without damaging the ceramics. A further
conditioning is applied in order to stabilise the trimming
result. 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. Five colour rings designate the resistance value and
tolerance in accordance with IEC 60062 (3). Additional colour
dots near the fourth ring are used to identify the temperature
coefficient.
The result of the determined production is verified by
an extensive testing procedure under strict temperature
control, performed on 100 % of the individual resistors. This
includes pulse load screening (for R 10 ) and additional
non-linearity screening (for R 30 ) for the elimination of
products with a potential risk of early life failures according to
EN 140401-803, 2.1.2.2. Only accepted products are laid
directly into the antistatic blister tape in accordance with
IEC 60286-3, Type II (3).
ASSEMBLY
The resistors are suitable for processing on automatic SMD
assembly systems. They are suitable for automatic soldering
using wave, reflow or vapour phase as shown in
IEC 61760-1 (3). 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 resistors are completely lead (Pb)-free, the pure tin
plating provides compatibility with lead (Pb)-free soldering
processes. The immunity of the plating against tin whisker
growth has been proven under extensive testing.
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, if applied, shall be qualified by
appropriate means to ensure the long-term stability of the
whole system.
All products comply with the GADSL (1) and the
CEFIC- EECA-EICTA (2) list of legal restrictions on
hazardous substances. This includes full compliance with
the following directives:
2000/53/EC End of Vehicle life Directive (ELV) and Annex II
(ELV II)
2011/65/EU Restriction of the use of Hazardous
Substances Directive (RoHS)
2002/96/EC Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive (WEEE)
APPROVALS
Where applicable the resistors are approved within the
IECQ-CECC Quality Assessment System for Electronic
Components to the detail specification EN 140401-803
which refers to EN 60115-1, EN 140400 and the variety of
environmental test procedures of the IEC 60068 (3) 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 IEC QC 001002-3,
clause 2. The release certificate for “Technology Approval
Schedule” in accordance with CECC 240001 based on
IEC QC 001002-3, clause 6 is granted for the
Vishay BEYSCHLAG manufacturing process.
