MOUNTING
Due to their rectangular shapes and small tolerances, Surface Mountable Resistors are suitable for handling by
automatic placement systems.
Chip placement can be on ceramic substrates and printed-circuit boards (PCBs).
Electrical connection to the circuit is by individual soldering condition.
The end terminations guarantee a reliable contact.
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 Fig 4.
