High Ohmic Flat Chip Resistors Vishay Beyschlag
DESCRIPTION
Production is strictly controlled and follows an extensive set
of instructions established for reproducibility. A newly
developed cermet layer is deposited on a high grade (Al2O3)
ceramic substrate and conditioned to achieve the desired
temperature coefficient. Inner contacts are built on both
sides of the substrate. A special laser is used to achieve the
target value by smoothly cutting the resistive layer without
damaging the ceramics. 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 and optical inspection
performed on 100 % of the individual chip resistors. Only
accepted products are laid directly into the paper tape in
accordance with IEC 60286-3 (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). 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.
The resistors are RoHS compliant; the pure tin plating
provides compatibility with lead (Pb)-free and
lead-containing soldering processes. Solderability is
specified for 2 years after production or requalification. The
permitted storage time is 20 years. The immunity of the
plating against tin whisker growth has been proven under
extensive testing.
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)
•2002/95/EC Restriction of the use of Hazardous
Substances directive (RoHS)
•2002/96/EC Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive (WEEE)
APPROVALS
The resistors are tested in accordance with EN 140401-802
which refers to EN 60115-1 and EN 140400. The detail
specification refers to the climatic category 55/125/56, which
relates to the “Standard operation mode” of this datasheet.
Vishay BEYSCHLAG has achieved “Approval of
Manufacturer” in accordance with EN 100114-1.
