Category: Electronics, Resistors, State Of The Art Inc

Abstract

State of the Art, Inc. presents the SASSSATION 3 0603 Thick Film Chip Resistor, a standard-grade component designed for various electronic applications. The resistor features a thick film situated on a 96% alumina substrate with wraparound terminations, catering to a wide range of resistance values and tolerances suitable for precision requirements.

Key Characteristics:

Resistors in this series offer a resistance range from 10 ohms up to 40 megaohms, with tolerances of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5%, and 10%. The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) spans +100 ppm/°C to +300 ppm/°C. These resistors can sustain a maximum power of 100 mW and a maximum operating voltage of 45 volts.

Performance and Reliability

Environmental and Mechanical Performance:

The resistor is engineered to withstand various environmental stressors, maintaining performance within specified tolerances. The stated thermal shock, low temperature operation, and overload conditions affect the resistance by merely +0.03%, ensuring reliability. Its resistance to bonding exposure and moisture results in a maximum change of +0.05%. A life test, governed by typical change in resistance under continuous load, showcases its endurance.

Power Derating and Life Test:

Power derating is detailed with a curve, revealing how resistor power rating diminishes as ambient temperature increases. This extends to a 100,000-hour operation period, underlining the product’s longevity, evident by the 7% limit at 250 V applied over 10,000 hours.

Customization and Ordering Information

Part Numbering System:

To facilitate precise ordering, the datasheet provides an intricate part numbering system. This outlines the packaging code, temperature characteristic, tolerance, resistance value, termination finish, product designation, termination type, size code, and grade. The customizable options include solderable and epoxy bondable terminations with various finishes, such as tin-lead, silver, or gold, as well as standard production and high reliability grades.

Mechanical Specifications:

Dimensions for the resistors are given in both inches and millimeters, including length, width, thickness, and terminal pad recommendations, as well as an approximate weight, denoting the resistor’s compact footprint and minimal mass — essential for dense circuit designs.
