FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Product characterization
Standard values of nominal resistance are taken from the E96 & E24 series for resistors with a tolerance of
±1%, ±5%. The values of the E24/E96 series are in accordance with “IEC publication 60063”.
Derating
The power that the resistor can dissipate depends on the operating temperature; see Fig.2
Figure 2. Maximum dissipation in percentage of rated power
As a function of the ambient temperature
SOLDERING CONDITION
The robust construction of chip resistors allows them to be completely immersed in a solder bath of 260°C for 10
seconds. Therefore, it is possible to mount Surface Mount Resistors on one side of a PCB and other discrete
components on the reverse (mixed PCBs).
Surface Mount Resistors are tested for solderability at 235°C during 2 seconds. The test condition for no
leaching is 260°C for 30 seconds. Typical examples of soldering processes that provide reliable joints without
any damage are given in below. WF04G is not guaranteed with wave soldering process due to its 0402 size.
