Thick Film Chip Resistors
Description:
The resistors are constructed in a high grade ceramic body (aluminum oxide).
Internal metal electrodes are added at each end and connected by a resistive paste
that is applied to the top surface of the substrate. The composition of the paste is
adjusted to give the approximate resistance required and the value is trimmed to
within tolerance by laser cutting of this resistive layer.
The resistive layer is covered with a protective coat. Finally, the two external
end terminations are added. For ease of soldering the outer layer of these end
terminations is a Tin (lead free) alloy.

Functional Description:
Product characterization
Standard values of nominal resistance is E96 series for resistors with a tolerance of ±1%.
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 for MCWR12,
MCWR08, MCWR06, MCWR04
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.

Thick Film Chip Resistors
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 3.
