These high-power low resistance chip resistors are designed to dissipate heat efficiently
through the land patterns on circuit boards. The actual temperature of the surface of the
resistor is dependent upon the dimensions and the shape of the land patterns.

Voltage pulse is applied to the test samples mounted
on the test board.
After each pulse, resistance drift is measured. Pulse
vol tage is increased until the drift exceeds +/-0.5%.
The power at that voltage is defined as the maximum
pulse power.
