Construction
A thin-film material is selectively deposited on a 96% alumina substrate together with metallic contacts at each end of the resistor. The
unadjusted resistors are heat treated to give the required TCR and stability, then a precisely controlled laser trim process adjusts the
resistance value. Epoxy protection is applied and wrap-around terminations are added and plated with nickel then tin. Each resistor is
measured immediately before packing into tape.
Terminations
Solderability
The chips are supplied with 100% Sn matte plated wrap-around terminations suitable for soldering.
The terminations have an electroplated nickel barrier and tin coating. This ensures excellent ‘leach’ resistance properties and
solderability.
Marking
The 0402 chips are not marked. 3 digit marking is used on the 0603 size and 4 digit marking on larger sizes and E96 values.

Packaging
GPCF Resistors are supplied paper taped and reeled as per IEC 286-3.
Application Notes
GPCF resistors are ideally suited for handling by automatic methods due to their rectangular shape and the small dimensional
tolerances. Electrical connection to a ceramic substrate or to a printed circuit board can be made by reflow or wave soldering of wrap-
around terminations.
Wrap-around terminations provide good leach properties and ensure reliable contact. Due to the robust construction, the GPCF can be
immersed in the solder bath for 30 seconds at 260°C. This enables the resistor to be mounted on one side of a printed circuit board and
wire-leaded components applied on the other side.
GPCF resistors themselves can operate at a maximum temperature of 155°C. For soldered resistors, the joint temperature should not
exceed 110°C. This condition is met when the stated power levels at 70°C are used.
