Notes
• The failure rate level E6 (10-6/h, πQ = 0.3), corresponding to MIL Level P, is superior to level E5 (10-5/h, πQ = 1) and thus may be used as a
replacement
• These resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when operated within the permissible limits. However, resistance value drift increasing over
operating time may result in exceeding a limit acceptable to the specific application, thereby establishing a functional lifetime

DESCRIPTION
MATERIALS
Production is strictly controlled and follows an extensive
set of instructions established for reproducibility. A
homogeneous film of metal alloy is deposited on a high
grade ceramic substrate (Al2O3) and conditioned to achieve
the desired temperature coefficient. Specially designed
inner contacts are deposited on both sides. A special laser
is used to achieve the target value by smoothly cutting a
meander groove in the resistive layer without damaging the
ceramics. The resistor elements are covered by a protective
coating designed for electrical, mechanical and climatic
protection. The terminations receive a final pure matte tin on
nickel plating.
Vishay acknowledges the following systems for the
regulation of hazardous substances.
• IEC 62474, Material Declaration for Products of and for the
Electrotechnical Industry, with the list of declarable
substances given therein (2)
• The Global Automotive Declarable Substance List
(GADSL) (3)
• The REACH regulation (1907/2006/EC) and the related list
of substances with very high concern (SVHC) (4) for its
supply chain
The products do not contain any of the banned substances
as per IEC 62474, GADSL, or the SVHC list, see
www.vishay.com/how/leadfree.
Hence the products fully comply with the following
directives:
• 2000/53/EC End-of-Life Vehicle Directive (ELV) and
Annex II (ELV II)
• 2011/65/EU Restriction of the Use of Hazardous
Substances
Directive
(RoHS)
with
amendment
2015/863/EU
• 2012/19/EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive (WEEE)
Vishay pursues the elimination of conflict minerals from its
supply chain, see the Conflict Minerals Policy at
www.vishay.com/doc?49037.
The result of the determined production is verified by an
extensive testing procedure performed on 100 % of the
individual resistors. This includes pulse load screening for
the elimination of products with a potential risk of early life
failures according to EN 140401-801, 2.1.2.2 (feasible for
R ≥ 10 Ω). Only accepted products are laid directly into the
paper tape in accordance with IEC 60 286-3 (1), Type 1a.
Products within a packaging unit are from the same
production lot and carry the same date code.
ASSEMBLY
The resistors are suitable for processing on automatic SMD
assembly systems. They are suitable for automatic
soldering using wave, reflow or vapor phase as shown in
IEC 61760-1 (1). Solderability is specified for 2 years after
production or requalification. The permitted storage time is
20 years.
The resistors are RoHS-compliant; the pure matte tin plating
provides compatibility with lead (Pb)-free soldering
processes. The immunity of the plating against tin whisker
growth has been proven under extensive testing.
The encapsulation is resistant to all cleaning solvents
commonly used in the electronics industry, including
alcohols, esters and aqueous solutions. The suitability of
conformal coatings, potting compounds, and their
processes, if applied, shall be qualified by appropriate
means to ensure the long-term stability of the whole system.
APPROVALS
The resistors are approved within the IECQ-CECC Quality
Assessment System for Electronic Components to the detail
specification EN 140 401-801 which refers to EN 60115-1,
EN 60115-8, and the variety of environmental test
procedures of the IEC 60068 (1) series.
Conformity is attested by the use of the CECC logo (
) as
the mark of conformity on the package label.
Vishay
Beyschlag
has
achieved
“Approval
of
Manufacturer” in accordance with IECQ 03-1. The release
certificate for “Technology Approval Schedule” in
accordance with CECC 240001 and based on IECQ 03-3-1
is granted for the Vishay Beyschlag manufacturing process.
The Vishay Beyschlag production facility is registered with
the CAGE code D9539.
