Fixed resistors for use in electronic equipment - Part 2: Sectional specification: Low-power film resistors with leads for through-hole assembly on circuit boards (THT)

This part of IEC 60115 is applicable to fixed low-power film resistors with termination leads for use in electronic equipment, which are typically assembled in through-hole technology (THT) on circuit boards. These resistors are typically described according to types (different geometric shapes) and styles (different dimensions) and product technology. The resistive element of these resistors is typically protected by a conformal lacquer coating. These resistors have wire terminations and are primarily intended to be mounted on a circuit board in through-hole technique. The object of this standard is to prescribe preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC 60115-1, the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and to give general performance requirements for this type of resistor.

Résistances fixes utilisées dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 2: Spécification intermédiaire: Résistances à broches à couche, à faible dissipation, pour assemblage par trous traversants sur cartes de circuit imprimé (carte THT)

L’IEC 60115-2:2023 s’applique aux résistances fixes à couche, à faible dissipation, équipées de broches de sortie, utilisées dans les équipements électroniques, et qui sont généralement assemblées sur les cartes de circuit imprimé au moyen de la technologie à trous traversants (THT). Ces résistances sont généralement décrites selon des types (différentes formes géométriques), des modèles (différentes dimensions) et des technologies de produit. L’élément résistif de ces résistances est généralement protégé par un revêtement de vernis enrobant. Ces résistances comportent des fils de sortie et sont principalement destinées à être montées sur une carte de circuits avec la technique des trous traversants. Le présent document a pour objet d’énoncer les caractéristiques assignées et les caractéristiques préférentielles, de choisir dans l’IEC 60115-1 les procédures d’assurance de la qualité et les méthodes d’essai et de mesure appropriées, et de fixer les exigences de performances générales pour ce type de résistance. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: a) adoption des définitions des technologies de produit et des niveaux de classification de produit de la spécification générique, IEC 60115-1:2020; b) examen des dimensions préférentielles du Tableau 1, et suppression de l’ancien modèle RA_0922; c) amendement en 4.2 d’une base pour la spécification facultative de l’excentricité des broches, pour les résistances à broches axiales; d) intégration en 5.3.8, en tant que méthode d’essai par défaut, de l’"essai de surcharge haute tension à impulsions périodiques" donné dans l’IEC 60115‑1:2020, 8.3, entraînant le remplacement de l’ancien "essai de surcharge à impulsions périodiques" donné dans l’IEC 60115‑1:2020, 8.4; e) intégration en 5.3.19 et 5.3.20 de la révision de l’essai de brasabilité de l’IEC 60115‑1:2020, 11.1; f) intégration en 5.3.22 de l’essai de résistance au solvant combiné de l’IEC 60115‑1:2020, 11.3; g) intégration en 5.4.1, en tant qu’essai facultatif, de "l’essai d’endurance à la température ambiante" donné dans l’IEC 60115‑1:2020, 7.2 (figurant anciennement dans l’IEC 60115‑2:2014, Annexe C); h) ajout de la forme d’ondes des impulsions 1,2/50 comme variante facultative en 5.4.2 à "l’essai de surcharge haute tension à une seule impulsion" donné dans l’IEC 60115‑1:2020, 8.2, appliqué avec la forme d’ondes des impulsions 10/700 spécifiée en 5.3.7; i) intégration en tant qu’essais facultatifs des essais climatiques relatifs au "fonctionnement à basse température" de l’IEC 60115-1:2020, 10.2, et à "chaleur humide, essai continu, accéléré" de l’IEC 60115-1:2020, 10.5, respectivement en 5.4.4 et 5.4.5; j) ajout de nouvelles recommandations en 6.2 sur la présentation des exigences de stabilité, ainsi que leurs écarts absolus et relatifs admis; k) ajout de critères d’acceptation pour l’examen visuel en 6.5 et à l’Annexe B; l) ajout d’un examen visuel pour l’emballage principal et l’emballage de proximité en 6.5.2 et en 7.2; m) ajout de l’évaluation périodique des revêtements des sorties comme nouveau sujet de l’évaluation de la qualité en 9.8; n) application de la numérotation corrigée des articles sur les essais de l’IEC 60115-1:2020; o) ajout d’une nouvelle Annexe C pour synthétiser les exigences relatives à la qualité d’exécution pour l’assemblage de résistance à broches à couche, par exemple celles données dans l’ancienne série de normes IEC 61192
