TE Connectivity 0402 Series SMD Fixed Resistors This range of SMD fixed resistors come from the TE Connectivity 0402 series. They are all house in a 0402 industry standard package size and are low profile high power resistors featuring a small size to power ratio. The 0402 devices range from 1 ohm to 10M and tolerances of 1% and 5%. They also include zero ohm links.
Type 0402 thick film resistors are powerful devices within a compact package. They are perfect for industrial applications and general purpose use. Example applications include; high frequency operation, owing to the short lead structure and low capacitance.

Features and Benefits
• This thick film series comes in a variety of resistance ranging from 1 Ω to 1 MΩ.
• Terminal finish: Matte Sn
• Moisture sensitivity level: Level 2
• Working to an operating temperature of -55°C to +125 °C
• Pack size: 0402

Construction
Precious metal terminations are printed on to a ceramic base and fired. The resistive element is then screen printed and the passivation layer added. The resistor is trimmed to tolerance by a laser. The Prescribed tile is broken into strips, the end plating is fired and the strips broken into individual components. Final termination is made by electroplating

FAQ’s
