Frequently Asked Questions
MT 60115-8 is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "TC 40/MT 60115-8". This committee has published 1 standards.
MT 60115-8 develops IEC standards in the area of Information technology. Currently, there are 1 published standards from this technical committee.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
IEC 60115-8:2023 is applicable to fixed surface mount resistors for use in electronic equipment. These resistors are typically described according to types (different geometric shapes) and styles (different dimensions) and product technology. These resistors have metallized terminations and are primarily intended to be mounted directly onto a circuit board.
The object of this document is to specify 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.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) definitions of product technologies and product classification levels of the generic specification, IEC 60115-1:2020, have been adopted;
b) new style of transverse (RT) resistors has been added in 3.1.5 and 4.2.2 to cover resistors with wide terminals, which have become common in market;
c) recommended test boards in 5.2.2 have been revised to fit the demands from the market for higher rated dissipation in resistors;
d) test boards have been revised so that they can be set vertically instead of horizontally during specified tests to optimize the temperature rise stability, area and spacing inside the test chamber;
e) 'Periodic-pulse high-voltage overload test' of IEC 60115‑1:2020, 8.3 has been added to the default test method in 5.3.8, however, the legacy test 'periodic-pulse overload test' of IEC 60115‑1:2020, 8.4 is still maintained for historical products;
and more. Please see the foreword for the list of changes.
