Fixed Resistors for Use in Electronic Equipment - Part 4: Sectional Specification: Fixed Power Resistors
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 60115-4 standard specifies the requirements for fixed power resistors used in electronic equipment. These resistors are designed to have a rated dissipation typically greater than 1 W up to and including 1000 W.
The standard focuses on resistors with a maximum surface temperature (MET) that exceeds the preferred upper category temperature (UCT) of 200°C. This implies that the resistors described in the standard are capable of operating at higher temperatures without compromising their performance or safety.
By providing requirements for these fixed power resistors, the standard aims to ensure that the resistors meet the necessary criteria for use in electronic equipment. Compliance with this standard ensures that the resistors can effectively handle the dissipated power and operate reliably within the specified temperature range.
