Vishay High Stability Thin Film Chip Resistors
This document is subject to change without notice.
THE PRODUCTS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND THIS DO CUMENT ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIFIC DISCLAIMERS, SET FORTH AT www.vishay.com/doc?91000
Note
(1) 1000 pieces packaging is available only for precision resistors with tolerance ± 0.1 % and temperature coefficient
± 25 ppm/K.
DESCRIPTION
Production is strictly controlled and follows an extensi ve set
of instructions established for reproducibility. A
homogeneous film of metal alloy is deposited on a high grade
ceramic substrate and conditioned to achieve the desired
temperature coefficient. A special laser is used to achieve
the target value by smoothly cutting a meander groove in 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 result of the determined production is verified
by an extensive testing procedure on 100 % of the individual
chip resistors. This includes pulse load screening for the
elimination of products with a potential risk of early life
failures according to EN 140401-801, 2.1.2.2. Only accepted
products are laid directly into the tape in accordance with
EN 60286-3.
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. The encapsulation is resistant to all cleaning
solvents commonly used in the electronics industry,
including alcohols, esters and aqueous solutions. The
suitability of conformal coa tin gs, if applied, shall be qualified
by appropriate means to ensure the long-term stability of the
whole system. Solderability is specified for 2 years after
production or re-q ualification. The permitted storage time is
20 years.
