Professional MELF Resistors
DESCRIPTION
Production is strictly controlled and follows an extensive
set of instructions established for reproducibility. A
homogeneous film of metal alloy is deposited on a high grade
ceramic body (85 % Al
2
O
3
, for MICRO-MELF: 96 % Al
2
O
3
)
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. 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.
Four or five colour 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 60286-3
* 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.
