Many component engineers are faced with a circuit requirement calling for resistors having voltage ratings well above that associated with surface mount chip resistors, but below the level of conventional high voltage resistors which are generally available in sizes large enough to handle tens of kilovolts.
The resistors discussed in this paper are particularly attractive as an alternative to carbon composition resistors for higher voltage applications.
A must for all quality assurance and assembly departments, IPC-A-610E illustrates industry-accepted workmanship criteria for electronics assemblies through full-color photographs and illustrations.
The topics include component orientation and soldering criteria for through-hole, SMT and discrete wiring assemblies, mechanical assembly, cleaning, marking, coating, and laminate requirements.
