State of the Art, Inc. SASSSATION 3 0603 Thick Film Chip Resistor

Category: Electronics, Resistors, State Of The Art Inc

State of the Art, Inc. presents the SASSSATION 3 0603 Thick Film Chip Resistor designed for standard grade applications with a wraparound termination on 96% alumina chips.

Performance Characteristics

The resistor offers a wide resistance range from 10 ohms to 40 megaohms and allows for various tolerance options, including 0.5% (with limited availability), 1%, 2%, 5%, and 10%. The Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) varies from +100 ppm to +300 ppm. With a thermal resistance of 78.4°C/W, it can handle a maximum power of 100 mW and operate effectively up to a maximum voltage of 45 Volts.

Environmental and Mechanical Performance

Environmental performance tests, following the criteria per MIL-PRF-55342, indicate stability with typical resistance change within +/- 0.03% for various conditions such as thermal shock, low temperature operation, short-time overload, and resistance to soldering heat. Moisture resistance and high-temperature exposure are within +/- 0.05%. The resistor is also life-tested at a 7% power derating limit over 250,000 hours.

Part Numbering and Mechanical Dimensions

The part numbering system specifies packaging code, temperature characteristic, tolerance, resistance value, termination finish, product designation, termination type, size code, and grade, allowing precise identification and selection for applications. Mechanical dimensions are provided in both inches and millimeters, including length, width, thickness, top and bottom terminal gaps, and approximate weight for practical mounting considerations.

Quality and Reliability

SASSSATION 3 0603 resistors are manufactured to meet certain quality expectations, supported with a QPL (Qualified Products List) qualification. Customers seeking higher reliability can contact the factory for screening options.

Additional Features

These resistors provide low current noise and efficient power dissipation. The termination finishes available are Sn60 over Nickel (X), silver-bearing (C), gold (G), silver over Nickel, and gold over Nickel (Z), all designed to meet RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance for environmentally conscious manufacturing and use.
