Overview
EN IEC 60115-4-10:2026/A11:2026 is a key standard developed by CLC, addressing the requirements for fixed power resistors with axial leads designed for through-hole technology (THT) assembly on circuit boards. The standard applies to resistors intended for general electronic equipment, specifically those classified at level G according to IEC 60115-1:2020. These resistors are typically used in consumer products and telecommunication user terminals, operating in benign or moderate environments where functional performance is the primary requirement.
This document serves as a blank detail specification that aids in the drafting of specific resistor specifications and provides quality assessment procedures for consistent performance and reliability in electronic assemblies.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
- Covers power resistors with axial leads for THT, commonly used in PCBs for wide-ranging electronics.
- Focuses on level G classification, suitable for general environments and non-critical applications.
Specification Structure
- Offers a framework for creating detailed specifications based on common resistor characteristics.
- Includes guidance on identification, marking codes, termination plating, and mechanical dimensions.
Quality Assessment and Testing
- Establishes test schedules aligned with IEC 60115-1:2020, Annex Q, ensuring consistent product performance.
- Details requirements for quality control through standardized assessment procedures.
Cross-Referencing and Revision Management
- Provides comprehensive annexes for referencing previous versions, ensuring clarity during specification updates.
- Supports transition from older standards such as EN 140201:1996 with clearly mapped cross-references.
Applications
Resistors conforming to EN IEC 60115-4-10:2026/A11:2026 are integral to a variety of general electronic equipment applications, including:
- Consumer Electronics: Television sets, audio equipment, and other household devices where stable resistance and reliability are needed without rigorous environmental exposure.
- Telecommunication Devices: User terminals, control units, and interface boards that operate in controlled conditions.
- Industrial Controls and Instruments: Low-stress environments with moderate temperature and humidity, where the major concern is functional continuity rather than extreme durability.
- Educational and Development Boards: Prototyping and instructional platforms that demand standardized, repeatable component performance.
The axial lead through-hole assembly format continues to be favored for ease of handling and robust mechanical connection, especially in products where automated surface-mount technology (SMT) is not required.
Related Standards
The standard references and aligns with several other international and European standards to ensure consistency and compatibility within the broader field of electronic passive components:
- IEC 60115-1:2020 – Fixed resistors for use in electronic equipment – Part 1: Generic specification
- IEC 60115-4:2022 – Fixed resistors for electronic equipment – Sectional specification for power resistors
- IEC 60062 – Marking codes for resistors and capacitors
- IEC 60063 – Preferred number series for resistors and capacitors
