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 AI2O3 ceramic substrate and conditioned to achieve
the desired temperature coefficient. Specially designed
inner contacts are deposited on both sides. A special laser
is used to achieve the target value by smoothly fine trimming
the resistive layer without damaging the ceramics. A further
conditioning is applied in order to stabilize 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. The result of the determined production is verified
by an extensive testing procedure on 100 % of the individual
chip resistors. Only accepted products are laid directly into
the tape in accordance with IEC 60286-3 Type 1a (1).
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 (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 RoHS compliant, the pure tin plating
provides compatibility with lead (Pb)-free and
lead-containing soldering processes. The immunity of the
plating against tin whisker growth has been proven under
extensive testing.
