Application Notes
1. If the resistors are to dissipate full rate power, it is
recommended that the terminations should not be
soldered closer than 4mm from the body.
2. Due to operating temperature limitations imposed by some
pcb materials, derating may be necessary. An estimate of
the temperature rise to be expected can be calculated
using the thermal impedance figures given under Electrical
Data.
3. Lead Formed resistors can also be supplied. Standard
options of Lancet, Radial and Goalpost forming are shown
in lead Form Information section. b

Packaging
The preferred method of packaging is taped and ammo
packed, see figure 1 for critical dimensions.
Alternative packaging is available by special request.
Marking
MF Series resistors are colour coded with 5 bands for 1%
tolerance or 4 bands for other tolerances. IEC 62 colours
are used.
Solvent Resistance
The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal
industrial cleaning solvents suitable for printed circuits.
Flammability
The resistors will not burn or emit incandescent particles
under any condition of applied temperature or power
overload.
Construction
The resistance element is a precisely controlled thin film of
metal alloy on a high purity ceramic core, protected by a
cement coating applied so that terminations remain
completely clear.
This permits a well defined body length, (clean lead to clean
lead dimension L).
Terminations
Material Solder-coated copper wire.
Strength The terminations meet the requirements of
IEC 68.2.21
Solderability The terminations meet the requirements of
IEC 115-1, Clause 4.17.3.2
