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

This part of EN 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). They have metallized terminations and are primarily intended to be mounted directly on to a circuit board.

La CEI 60115-8:2009 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) et des modèles (différentes dimensions). Elles comportent des extrémités métallisées et sont conçues principalement pour être montées directement sur un circuit imprimé. Les principales modifications techniques par rapport à la première édition sont les suivantes: - introduction d'une classification de produit basée sur les exigences de l'application; - extension de la liste des modèles et des dimensions; - utilisation d'un domaine d'application étendu avec des définitions de classe de stabilité; - extension des listes de valeurs préférentielles des caractéristiques nominales; - inclusion de conditions d'essai et d'exigences pour le brasage sans plomb, pour les surcharges périodiques, pour la résistance aux décharges électrostatiques (DES); - inclusion d'une nouvelle série de sévérités pour un essai de cisaillement; - inclusion de définitions d'une carte d'essai; - remplacement du niveau d'assurance de la qualité E et des autres possibles par l'unique niveau d'assurance de la qualité EZ qui est conforme aux exigences de l'approche "zéro défaut"; - inclusion d'un essai d'endurance étendu, d'un essai d'inflammabilité, d'un essai d'échauffement, d'essais de vibrations, d'un essai étendu de variation rapide de température et d'un essai de surcharge sous forme d'une simple impulsion de tension élevée; - inclusion d'exigences applicable aux résistances de valeurs 0 ohm (cavaliers).

EN 60115-1, the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and to
give general performance requirements for this type of resistor.
Test severities and requirements prescribed in detail specifications referring to this sectional
specification shall be of equal or higher performance level, because lower performance levels are not
permitted.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

SIST EN 60115-8:2013
- 9 - EN 60115-8:2012
Three general end product levels have been established to reflect characteristic differences in
functional, performance and reliability requirements and to permit the use of suitable inspection and
test schedules. It should be recognized that there may be overlaps of applications between the
levels.
Level G – General electronic equipment, typically operated under benign or moderate environmental
conditions, where the major requirement is function. Examples for level G include consumer products
and telecommunication user terminals.
Level P – High-performance electronic equipment, where one or more of the following criteria
applies:
– uninterrupted performance is desired or mandatory;
– operation in harsh environmental conditions;
– extended lifetime.
Examples for level P include professional equipment, telecommunication transmission systems,
industrial control and measurement systems and most automotive applications operated outside the
passenger compartment.
NOTE 1 This product classification to Level P adopts the former Version A.
Level R — High-performance and high-reliability electronic equipment, where the requirement for
established reliability and for an approved failure rate level applies in addition to the criteria of Level
P.
Examples for Level R include military & defence equipment, avionics and aerospace applications.
NOTE 2 This product classification to Level R adopts the former Version E.
Each level shall be used in individual detail specifications, except for Level P and Level R, which
may be used in combined detail specifications.
2 Preferred characteristics, ratings and test severities
2.1 Preferred characteristics
The values given in detail specifications shall preferably be selected from the following.
2.1.1 Style and dimensions

When the component style is other than described above, for example for surface mount wirewound
resistors (Style designators are prefixed RW), the detail specification shall state such dimensional
information as will adequately describe the resistor.
2.1.2 Preferred climatic categories
The surface mount resistors covered by this specification are classified into climatic categories
according to the general rules given in EN 60068-1:1994, Annex A.
The lower and upper category temperature and the duration of the damp heat, steady state test shall
be chosen from the following:
Lower category temperature (LCT) -55 °C; -40 °C; -25 °C and -10 °C.
Upper category temperature (UCT) 85 °C; 100 °C; 125 °C; 155 °C;
175 °C and 200 °C.
Duration of damp heat, steady state test: 10, 21 and 56 days.
The severities for the cold and dry heat tests are the lower and upper category temperatures
respectively.
NOTE The climatic performance of assembled resistors is greatly influenced by the circuit board, the assembly method
and a final coating.
