Fixed resistors for use in electronic equipment - Part 2: Sectional specification: Low-power film resistors with leads for through-hole assembly on circuit boards (THT) EN IEC 60115-2:2026

Publication date:   Jun 11, 2026

Scope

This part of IEC 60115 is applicable to fixed low-power film resistors with termination leads for use in electronic equipment, which are typically assembled in through-hole technology (THT) on circuit boards.
These resistors are typically described according to types (different geometric shapes) and styles (different dimensions)
and product technology. The resistive element of these resistors is typically protected by a conformal lacquer coating.
These resistors have wire terminations and are primarily intended to be mounted on a circuit board in through-hole
technique.
The object of this standard is to prescribe preferred ratings and characteristics and to select from IEC 60115-1, the
appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods and to give general performance requirements
for this type of resistor.
