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

Category: Electronics, Resistors, State Of The Art Inc

Overview

The datasheet provides detailed information on State of the Art, Inc.’s SASSSATION 3 0603 Thick Film Chip Resistor, a standard-grade, wraparound thick film resistor designed on a 96% alumina substrate. The resistor offers a wide resistance range from 10 ohms up to 40 megaohms and various tolerances to suit different application needs.

Performance Characteristics

Resistance: Available tolerances include ±0.5% (with limited availability), ±1%, ±2%, ±5%, and ±10%. The Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) is specified as +100 ppm, +200 ppm, and +300 ppm, depending on the selected model.
Power Dissipation: The resistor can dissipate up to 100 milliwatts (mW) of power and can operate at a maximum voltage of 45 volts. A power derating curve indicates how the maximum dissipation decreases with an increase in ambient temperature.
Environmental Performance: The product is tested according to MIL-PRF-55342 standards for resistance to several variables, including thermal shock, low-temperature operation, and high-temperature exposure. Typical resistance change is within ±0.03% to ±0.05%, depending on the environmental test category. A life test spans over 250,000 hours with a power derating limit of 1% at 70°C.

Part Numbering System

The part numbering guide enables users to specify requirements easily. Details such as packaging, temperature characteristic, tolerance, resistance value, termination finish, product designation, and size code can be coded into the part number. For example, the component termination includes options such as Sn60 over nickel (solderable) and different RoHS-compliant options like gold over nickel.

Mechanical Specifications and Mounting Recommendation

Physical dimensions of the resistor are provided in both inches and millimeters, including the length, width, thickness, and approximate weight. Recommended minimum mounting pads are also detailed, ensuring users have the necessary guidelines for proper installation.
