Metal Film Chip Resistors, High Reliability Type
■
Recommended Land Pattern
In case of flow soldering, the land width must be smaller than the Chip Resistor width to properly control the solder amount
properly. Generally, the land width should be 0.7 to 0.8 times (W) of the width of chip resistor. In case of reflow soldering,
solder amount can be adjusted, therefore the land width should be set to 1.0 to 1.3 times chip resistor width (W).

Safety Precautions
The following are precautions for individual products. Please also refer to the precautions common to Fixed Resistors
shown on page ER2 of this catalog.
1. Keep the rated power and ambient temperature within the specified derating curve.
* When positioning and mounting Metal Film Chip Resistors (hereafter called the resistors), make allowance for the
effect of heat generated through close contact between the resistors and neighboring components and for the
temperature rise of adjacent heat-generating components.
2. If a transient load (heavy load in a short time) like a pulse is expected to be applied, check and evaluate the operations
of the resistors when installed in your products before use.
When applying pulses to the resistors, keep the pulse peak within the rated voltage.
3. Do not use halogen-based or other high-activity flux. Otherwise, the residue may impair the resistors' performance
and/or reliability.
4. When soldering with a soldering iron, never touch the resistors' bodies with the tip of the soldering iron. When using a
soldering iron with a high temperature tip, finish soldering as quickly as possible (within three seconds at 350 °C max.).
5. As the amount of applied solder becomes larger, the mechanical stress applied to the resistors increases, causing
problems such as cracks and faulty characteristics. Avoid applying an excessive amount of solder.
6. When the resistors' protective coatings are chipped, flawed, or removed, the characteristics of the resistors may be
impaired. Take special care not to apply mechanical shock during automatic mounting or cause damage during
handling of the boards with the resistors mounted.
7. Do not apply shock to the resistors or pinch them with a hard tool (e.g. pliers and tweezers). Otherwise, the resistors'
protective coatings and bodies may be chipped, affecting their performance.
8. Avoid excessive bending of printed circuit boards in order to protect the resistors from abnormal stress.
9. Do not immerse the resistors in solvent for a long time. Before using solvent, carefully check the effects of immersion.
Design and specifications are each subject to change without notice. Ask factory for the current technical specifications before purchase and/or use.
Should a safety concern arise regarding this product, please be sure to contact us immediately.
