Fixed resistors for use in electronic equipment - Part 2: Sectional specification: Low-power film resistors with leads for through-hole assembly on circuit boards (THT)
This part of IEC 60115 is applicable to fixed low-power film resistors with termination leads for use in electronic equipment, which are typically assembled in through-hole technology (THT) on circuit boards.
These resistors are typically described according to types (different geometric shapes) and styles (different dimensions)
and product technology. The resistive element of these resistors is typically protected by a conformal lacquer coating.
These resistors have wire terminations and are primarily intended to be mounted on a circuit board in through-hole
technique.
The object of this standard is to prescribe preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC 60115-1, the
appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and to give general performance requirements
for this type of resistor.

Résistances fixes utilisées dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 2: Spécification intermédiaire: Résistances à couches et à faible dissipation équipées de broches pour assemblage par trous traversants sur circuits imprimés (THT)
L’IEC 60115-2:2023 s’applique aux résistances fixes à couche, à faible dissipation, équipées de broches de sortie, utilisées dans les équipements électroniques, et qui sont généralement assemblées sur les cartes de circuit imprimé au moyen de la technologie à trous traversants (THT).
Ces résistances sont généralement décrites selon des types (différentes formes géométriques), des modèles (différentes dimensions) et des technologies de produit. L’élément résistif de ces résistances est généralement protégé par un revêtement de vernis enrobant. Ces résistances comportent des fils de sortie et sont principalement destinées à être montées sur une carte de circuits avec la technique des trous traversants.
Le présent document a pour objet d’énoncer les caractéristiques assignées et les caractéristiques préférentielles, de choisir dans l’IEC 60115-1 les procédures d’assurance de la qualité et les méthodes d’essai et de mesure appropriées, et de fixer les exigences de performances générales pour ce type de résistance.

FIXED RESISTORS FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –
Part 2: Sectional specification: Low-power film resistors with leads
for through-hole assembly on circuit boards (THT)
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.

d) the 'period-pulse high-voltage overload test' of IEC 60115‑1:2020, 8.3 has been adopted as
default test method in 5.3.8, thereby replacing the legacy test 'periodic-pulse overload test'
of IEC 60115‑1:2020, 8.4;
e) the revised solderability test of IEC 60115‑1:2020, 11.1 has been adopted in 5.3.19 and 5.3.20;
f) the combined solvent resistance test of IEC 60115‑1:2020, 11.3 has been adopted in 5.3.22;
g) the 'endurance at room temperature test' of IEC 60115‑1:2020, 7.2 (prior IEC 60115 2:2014,
Annex C) has been adopted as an optional test in 5.4.1;
h) the 'single-pulse high-voltage overload test' of IEC 60115 1:2020, 8.2, applied with the pulse
shape 10/700 in 5.3.7, is complemented with the optional alternative provided by the pulse
shape 1,2/50 in 5.4.2;
i) climatic tests for 'operation at low temperature' of IEC 60115‑1:2020, 10.2, and for 'damp
heat, steady state, accelerated' of IEC 60115‑1:2020, 10.5, have been adopted as optional
tests in 5.4.4 and 5.4.5, respectively;
j) new guidance is provided in 6.2 on the presentation of stability requirements with their
permissible absolute and relative deviations;
k) acceptance criteria for the visual examination have been added in 6.5 and in Annex B;
l) visual examination for the primary and proximity packaging has been added in 6.5.2 and in 7.2;
m) the periodical evaluation of termination platings has been added as a new topic of quality
assessment in 9.8;
n) the revised test clause numbering of IEC 60115‑1:2020 has been applied;
o) a new Annex C has been added to summarize workmanship requirements for the assembly
of leaded film resistors, e.g. as given in the prior IEC 61192 series of standards;
p) the informative Annex F (prior Annex B) on radial formed styles has been amended with
details on a formed Z-bend style for surface-mount assembly.

FIXED RESISTORS FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –
Part 2: Sectional specification: Low-power film resistors with leads
for through-hole assembly on circuit boards (THT)
1 Scope
This part of IEC 60115 is applicable to fixed low-power film resistors with termination leads for
use in electronic equipment, which are typically assembled in through-hole technology (THT)
on circuit boards.
These resistors are typically described according to types (different geometric shapes) and
styles (different dimensions) and product technology. The resistive element of these resistors
is typically protected by a conformal lacquer coating. These resistors have wire terminations
and are primarily intended to be mounted on a circuit board in through-hole technique.
The object of this document is to state preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from
IEC 60115-1 the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and
to give general performance requirements for this type of resistor.
