Construction
A resistor element is applied to an alumina substrate. The product is adjusted to the value and protected. Marking is
applied to 0603 and 0805 sizes. A wraparound conductor is applied to join the top and bottom sides. The terminations are
electroplated with a Ni barrier layer prior to plating with a Sn finish.

Solvent Resistance
The body protection and marking are resistant to all normal industrial solvents suitable for printed circuits.

Flammability
The resistor will not burn or emit incandescent particles under any condition of applied temperature or overload.

Solderability
95% min coverage (MIL-STD 202F / 208H, 235C 2 secs)
