IEC 60115-8:2009 PDF (Not Available)

IEC 60115-8:2009 is a standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for fixed surface mount resistors used in electronic equipment. These resistors have metallized terminations and are designed to be directly mounted on circuit boards. The standard introduces a product classification based on application requirements, as well as an expanded list of styles and dimensions.

The standard also provides definitions for stability classes and lists preferred values for ratings. It includes test conditions and requirements for lead-free soldering, periodic overload, and resistance to electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Additionally, the standard incorporates a new shear test severity level and introduces definitions for a test board. It replaces certain assessment levels with a single assessment level EZ, which aims to achieve a "zero defect" approach.

Furthermore, the standard includes an extended endurance test, a flammability test, a temperature rise test, vibration tests, an extended rapid change of temperature test, and a single pulse high-voltage overload test. It also includes requirements specific to 0 ohm resistors, also known as jumpers.
