Long Side Termination Thick Film Chip Resistors
RCL e3
Vishay
FEATURES
•Enhanced power rating
•Long side terminations
•Protective overglaze
•Pure tin solder contacts on Ni barrier layer,
provides compatibility with lead (Pb)-free and
lead containing soldering processes
•Compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC
•Halogen-free according to IEC 61249-2-21 definition
•AEC-Q200, rev. C compliant
Notes
•These resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when operated within the permissible limits. However, resistance value drift increasing over
operating time may result in exceeding a limit acceptable to the specific application, thereby establishing a functional lifetime
•Marking: See data sheet “Surface Mount Resistor Marking” (document number 20020)
•Power rating depends on the max. temperature at the solder point, the component placement density and the substrate material
Note
(1) The power dissipation on the resistors generates a temperature rise against the local ambient, depending on the heat flow support of the
printed-circuit board (thermal resistance). The rated dissipation applies only if the permitted film temperature of 155 °C is not exceeded.
