DESCRIPTION
Production is strictly controlled and follows an extensive set
of instructions established for reproducibility. A homo-
geneous film of metal alloy is deposited on a high grade
ceramic body (85 % Al2O3, for MICRO-MELF: 96 % Al2O3)
and conditioned to achieve the desired temperature
coefficient. Nickel plated steel termination caps are firmly
pressed on the metallised rods. A special laser is used to
achieve the target value by smoothly cutting a helical groove
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 color code rings designate the
resistance value and tolerance in accordance with
IEC 60062*.
The result of the determined production is verified by an
extensive testing procedure performed on 100 % of the
individual resistors. Only accepted products are laid directly
into the blister tape in accordance with IEC 60 286-3* or bulk
case in accordance with IEC 60286-6*.
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*. Excellent solderability is proven, even after
extended storage in excess of 10 years. The encapsulation
is resistant to all cleaning solvents commonly used in the
electronics industry, including alcohols, esters and aqueous
solutions. 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.
All products comply with the GADSL1) and the CEFIC-
EECA-EICTA2) 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 140401-803
(superseding CECC 40401-803) which refers to
EN 60115-1, EN 140400 and the variety of enviromental test
procedures of the IEC 60068* series. Approval of conformity
is indicated by the CECC logo 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.
