Why should you use BS EN 60115-9 – Fixed surface mount resistors?
A fixed surface mount resistor is a small rectangular ceramic body with silver conductive edges on both ends. An SMD resistor is termed surface mount technology and has proven beneficial in saving space on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
BS EN 60115-9 covers the sectional specifications which recommend the users, preferred ratings, and characteristics that can be selected from IEC 60115-1. It gives you general performance requirements for fixed type surface mount resistors which contributes to the appropriate quality assessment, using the procedures, tests, and measuring methods given.
BS EN 60115-9 gives guidance on determining performance criteria of the fixed surface mount resistors, according to the conditions of the intended end-use application, in order to represent typical changes in functional, performance, and reliability requirements. It also allows the adoption of appropriate inspection and test schedules. This helps users to manufacture high-quality, high efficient, durable resistors.
