6.Characteristics of electrical performance
¡@6.1 Rated power
¡@The rated power indicates the maximum power the resistor can endure continuously when the
¡@ambient temperature is equal to or lower than 70¢J. When the ambient temperature is higher than
¡@70¢J, the rated power of the resistor is determined by the derating curve described in the following
¡@figure.
¡@
¡@
¡@6.2 Rated voltage
¡@The rated voltage of a resistor is either a continuous DC voltage or an AC rms voltage which can be
¡@calculated by the following formula. If the calculated rated voltage is higher than the highest
¡@working voltage then the highest working voltage should be used as the rated voltage.
¡@¡@P: Rated power(W)¡@R: Nominal resistance(£[)¡@E: Rated voltage(V)
¡@
¡@6.3 Insulation resistance (Ref. JIS C5202 5.6)
¡@Equipment: Insulation resistance tester
¡@The body of the resistor is wrapped around by the aluminum foil without extending beyond the
¡@resistor body. Clap one electrode on the aluminum foil and the other electrode on the lead wire.
¡@Apply 500V from the tester for 1 min. and the measured resistance value should be larger than
¡@¡Ù 10M£[.
¡@
¡@6.4 Dielectric strength (Ref. JIS C5202 5.7)
¡@Equipment: Dielectric strength tester
¡@The body of the resistor is wrapped around by the aluminum foil without extending beyond the
¡@resistor body. Clap one electrode on the aluminum foil and the other electrode on the lead wire.
¡@Apply 500V from to the electrodes for 1 min. No flash-over, burning or breakdown should be
¡@observed.
¡@
¡@6.5 Short time overload (SOL) (Ref. JIS C5202 5.5)
¡@Equipment: S.O.L. tester.
¡@Apply 2.5 times of rated voltage to the resistors for 5 seconds. If the applied voltage is larger than
¡@the voltage listed in the following table, then the voltage in the table should be used instead. After
¡@ the test, the sample should be stabilized at room temperature for 30 min. before the resistance is
¡@measured. The change of the resistance before and after the test should be: ¡Ó(2%+0.1£[).
¡@
7.Environmental tests
¡@7.1 Load life test (Endurance with rated load) (Ref. JIS C5202 7.10)
¡@Equipment: High temperature chamber and DC power supply
¡@The resistors are put in a fixture where no interference will be allowed. Put the fixture in a 70¡Ó3¢J
¡@chamber and apply rated voltage with a cycle of 90 min. ON and 30 min. OFF for hours.
¡@ After 240, 480, 720 and 1,000 hours, the resistors are taken out and stabilize at room temperature
¡@for 30 min. and then the resistance is measured. Upon each step of resistance measurement, the
¡@change of the resistance should not exceed ¡Ó(5%+0.1£[) and the appearance should show no
¡@remarkable abnormality and legibility of marking.
¡@
¡@7.2 Resistance to damp heat (Ref. To JIS C5202 7.2)
¡@Equipment: Constant temperature and humidity chamber
¡@The resistors are put in a 40¡Ó2¢J chamber with RH=90¡ã95% for 240¡Ó4 hours. After the test, take
¡@the resistors out and stabilize in room temperature for 1 - 4 hour. Measure the resistance. The
¡@acceptable change of resistance should not exceed ¡Ó(2%+0.1£[) and the appearance should show
¡@no remarkable abnormality and legibility of marking.
¡@
¡@7.3 Endurance under damp heat and load (Ref. JIS C5202 7.9)
¡@Equipment: Constant temperature and humidity chamber, DC power supply
¡@The resistors are put in a fixture where no interference will be allowed. Put the fixture in a 40¡Ó2¢J
¡@chamber with RH=90¡ã95% and apply rated voltage with a cycle of 90 min. ON and 30 min. OFF for
¡@ hours. Water drops should avoid dripping on the resistors. After 240 and 1,000 hours, the
¡@resistors are taken out and stabilize at room temperature for 1 hou-r and then the resistance is
¡@measured. Upon each step of measurement, the change of the resistance should not exceed
¡@¡Ó(5%+0.1£[) and the appearance should show no remarkable abnormality and legibility of marking.
 
¡@7.4 Temperature coefficient (TCR) (Ref. JIS C5202 5.2)
¡@Equipment: High temperature chamber
¡@Measure the resistance at room temperature. Put the resistor in a chamber with the temperature
¡@ of RT+100¢J for 30 - 45 min. to stabilize. Measure the resistance again. Compare the resistance
¡@at these two temperatures with the following equation and the acceptable value is ¡Ó350 PPM/¢J.
¡@
¡@R = Resistance at T ¡@T = RT + 100¢J¡@Ro = Resistance at To¡@To =room temperature
 
¡@7.5 Temperature cycling (Ref. JIS C5202 7.4)
¡@Equipment: High temperature chamber, low temperature chamber
¡@Measure the resistance before the test. Put the resistor to -55¢J chamber for 30 min. then take it
¡@ out at room temperature for 2 to 3 min.. Put the resistor to +155 ¢Jchamber for 30 min. then take it
¡@out at room temperature for 2 to 3 min. This completes a cycle. Repeat the cycle 5 times. Put
¡@resistors at room temperature for 90 min. and then measure the resistance. Compare the
¡@resistance before and after test. The acceptable change of resistance is ¡Ó(1%+0.05£[). The
¡@appearance should show no remarkable abnormality and legibility of marking.

¡@resistance value. Compare the resistance values before and after the test, The acceptable change
