Overview
The standard FprEN IEC 60115-8:2025/FprAA:2025 issued by CLC governs fixed surface mount resistors (SMD), specifically designed for use in electronic equipment. This sectional specification complements the generic requirements outlined in IEC 60115-1 by defining the preferred characteristics, ratings, and quality assessment procedures particular to fixed surface mount resistors. These resistors are characterized by their metallized terminations and are primarily intended for direct mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
This essential document establishes uniform requirements for product technology, geometrical types, styles, and testing methods, ensuring reliable performance and quality consistency across electronic manufacturing industries.
Key Topics
- Fixed Surface Mount Resistors (SMD): Focus on resistors with metallized ends designed for surface mounting, covering various types, geometric shapes, and dimensions.
- Preferred Ratings and Characteristics: Specification of electrical and mechanical ratings to standardize product performance, including resistance values, tolerance, power rating, and temperature coefficients.
- Quality Assessment Procedures: Selection of appropriate international test methods and sampling plans from IEC 60115-1 tailored to surface mount resistors.
- Performance Requirements: General durability and reliability benchmarks including solderability, environmental testing, and mechanical strength.
- Cross-referencing and Normative References: Integration with related international standards such as IEC 60068 for environmental testing and IEC 60286-3 for packaging.
Applications
Fixed surface mount resistors specified in this standard are integral components in a wide range of electronic equipment including but not limited to:
- Consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices.
- Industrial control systems requiring robust and compact resistors for circuit protection.
- Automotive electronics demanding high reliability and environmental resistance.
- Telecommunications and networking equipment where miniature and high-precision resistors are essential.
- Medical devices emphasizing strict quality and performance consistency.
By adhering to this standard, manufacturers ensure that their surface mount resistors meet rigorous levels of quality and compatibility, facilitating seamless integration into modern electronic assemblies.
