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

Category: Electronics, Resistors, State Of The Art Inc

The datasheet provides detailed specifications for State of the Art, Inc.’s SASSSATION 3 0603 Thick Film Chip Resistor, a standard grade, wraparound termination, alumina substrate resistor designed for a range of applications. These chip resistors feature a resistance range from 10 ohms to 40 megaohms and are available with tolerances of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5%, or 10%—with the 0.5% tolerance being limited in availability.

Performance characteristics include:
Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) offered in variations of +100 ppm, +200 ppm, and +300 ppm, which outlines their response to temperature changes.
Thermal Resistance of 78.4 °C/W indicating the efficiency of heat dissipation.
Maximum Power rating is 100 mW, with a Maximum Voltage rating of 45 Volts.

Environmental performance tests follow MIL-PRF-55342 standards and exhibit changes in resistance due to various stresses such as thermal shock, low temperature operation, short-time overload, and exposure to moisture or high temperatures, all within +0.03% to +0.05% limits. A life test is also detailed, showing a power derating curve dependent on ambient temperature, and a power limitation after 25,000 hours of operation.

CURRENT NOISE

POWER DISSIPATION

State of the Art, Inc. does not provide explicit values for current noise and power dissipation on the first two pages of the datasheet.

PART NUMBERING

Part numbers are assembled to define the resistor specifications, including size, tolerance, temperature characteristic, resistance value, termination finish, and design. Notable elements include:
Temperature Characteristic codes which represent TCR values of +100 ppm (10), +200 ppm (20), and +300 ppm (30).
Tolerance codes G (2%), J (5%), K (10%), and M (20%).
Resistance Value is denoted by a digit system where the number of digits specifies the tolerance level, while the presence of an “R” represents the decimal in ohmic values.
Termination Finish options include solderable tins and epoxy bondable selections, compliant with RoHS standards.

MECHANICAL

The mechanical section provides dimensions for the resistor in both inches and millimeters, specifying length, width, thickness, terminal gap, as well as the approximate weight of the resistor.
