Fixed resistors for use in electronic equipment - Part 8: Sectional specification - Fixed surface mount resistors

This part of IEC 60115 is applicable to fixed surface mount resistors for use in electronic equipment. These resistors are typically described according to types (different geometric shapes) and styles (different dimensions) and product technology. These resistors have metallized terminations and are primarily intended to be mounted directly onto a circuit board. The object of this document is to specify 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. Since the documents of the 60115-X series are exempted from the parallel procedure (D162/C089), this New Work Item Proposal aims to endorse the main IEC document IEC 60115-8:2023 as a European standard. The standard shall be published together with the finalised Common Modifications.

Festwiderstände zur Verwendung in Geräten der Elektronik - Teil 8: Rahmenspezifikation - Oberflächenmontierbare (SMD) Festwiderstände

Résistances fixes utilisées dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 8: Spécification intermédiaire - Résistances fixes pour montage en surface

L’IEC 60115-8:2023 s’applique aux résistances fixes pour montage en surface utilisées dans les équipements électroniques. Ces résistances sont généralement décrites selon des types (différentes formes géométriques), des modèles (différentes dimensions) et des technologies de produits. Ces résistances comportent des sorties métalliques et sont conçues principalement pour être montées directement sur un circuit imprimé. Le présent document a pour objet de spécifier 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 performance 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 produits et des niveaux de classification des produits de la spécification générique, IEC 60115-1:2020; b) ajout d’un nouveau modèle de résistances transversales (RT) en 3.1.5 et 4.2.2 afin de couvrir les résistances à larges sorties qui sont devenues courantes sur le marché; c) révision des cartes d’essai recommandées en 5.2.2 pour répondre aux demandes du marché d’une dissipation assignée supérieure dans les résistances; d) révision des cartes d’essai pour pouvoir les placer à la verticale et non pas à l’horizontale pendant les essais spécifiés dans le but d’optimiser la stabilité de l’augmentation de température, la surface et l’espacement à l’intérieur de la chambre d’essai; e) ajout de "l’essai de surcharge haute tension à impulsions périodiques" de l’IEC 60115‑1:2020, 8.3 à la méthode d’essai par défaut en 5.3.8, toutefois l’ancienne méthode d’essai, "essai de surcharge à impulsions périodiques" de l’IEC 60115‑1:2020, 8.4, est maintenue pour les produits historiques; et plus. Veuillez consulter l'avant-propos pour la liste des modifications.
