ASSEMBLY Vishay pursues the elimination of conflict minerals from its supply chain, see the Conflict Minerals Policy at The resistors are suitable for processing on automatic SMD www.vishay.com/doc?49037. assembly systems. They are suitable for automatic soldering using wave, reflow or vapor phase as shown in APPROVALSIEC 61760-1 (1) . The encapsulation is resistant to all The resistors are qualified according to AEC-Q200. cleaning solvents commonly used in the electronics industry, including alcohols, esters and aqueous solutions. Where applicable, the resistors are tested in accordance The suitability of conformal coatings, potting compounds with EN 140401-802 which refers to EN 60115-1 , and their processes, if applied, shall be qualified by EN 60115-8 and the variety of environmental test appropriate means to ensure the long-term stability of the procedures of the IEC 60068 (1) series. whole system. RELATED PRODUCTS The resistors with SnPb plating provides compatibility with lead (Pb)-free and lead (Pb)-containing soldering processes. The D/CRCW e3 with lead (Pb)-free termination plating is designed for applications where lead (Pb)-free terminations Solderability is specified for 2 years after production or are mandatory. For ordering D/CRCW with lead (Pb)-free requalification. The permitted storage time is 20 years. The terminations please refer to latest edition of datasheet immunity of the plating against tin whisker growth has been D/CRCW e3 (www.vishay.com/doc?20035). proven under extensive testing. For more information about products with better TCR and tighter tolerance please refer to the “Lead (Pb)-Bearing Thick Film, Rectangular, Semi-Precision Chip Resistors” datasheet (www.vishay.com/doc?20009).
