Fixed resistors for use in electronic equipment - Part 8: Sectional specification - Fixed surface mount resistors prEN IEC 60115-8

Scope

This part of IEC 60115 is applicable to fixed surface mount resistors for use in electronic equipment.
These resistors are typically described according to types (different geometric shapes) and styles (different dimensions)
and product technology. These resistors have metallized terminations and are primarily intended to be mounted directly
onto a circuit board.
The object of this document is to specify 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.
Since the documents of the 60115-X series are exempted from the parallel procedure (D162/C089), this New Work Item
Proposal aims to endorse the main IEC document IEC 60115-8:2023 as a European standard. The standard shall be
published together with the finalised Common Modifications.
