Category: Electronics, Resistors, State Of The Art Inc

Overview

The datasheet details State of the Art, Inc.’s ENCAPSULANT PRECISION 5 0603 Thin Film Chip Resistor designed with wraparound terminations on a 99.6% alumina substrate. The document provides comprehensive information on the resistor’s technical specifications, including resistance ranges, tolerances, thermal characteristics, power ratings, and environmental performance.

Performance Characteristics

The resistor features a resistance range from 5.60 ohms to 390 kiloohms, with a minimum resistance of 100 ohms at the strictest tolerance of ±0.1%, for which consultation with the factory is recommended. Tolerances vary from ±0.1% to ±5%, accommodating diverse application requirements. Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) options include +25, +50, and +100 ppm, assuring stable performance across temperature variations.

The chip resistor is capable of handling a maximum power of 100 mW and can withstand voltages up to 40 volts. The thermal resistance is specified at 64.6°C/W, and the typical resistance change due to various environmental conditions is outlined, referencing the standards in MIL-PRF-55342.

Environmental Performance & Current Noise

The environmental performance section presents stability data related to thermal shock, low-temperature operation, short-time overload, bonding resistance, moisture, and high-temperature exposure, with changes in resistance typically within ±0.02% to ±0.03%. Additionally, a life test graph demonstrates the power derating over time, indicating reliable operation over an extended period.

Part Numbering

The part numbering system is meticulously described to assist in the correct product selection. It explains the significance of each character in the part number, such as resistance values, tolerance, temperature characteristic, termination finish, packaging code, and product grade. Tolerance codes range from B (±0.1%) to J (±5%), and TCR is defined by E (+25 ppm), H (+50 ppm), and K (+100 ppm). The default packaging is Bulk, with options for Tape/Reel or Waffle Carrier.
