Applications and Ratings
1) The rated voltage should follow the formula 𝐸 = 𝑃 × 𝑅
In case the value exceeds the MWV, the MWV shall be regarded as the rated voltage
2) Moisture Level(1 Level)
3) *Max Working Voltage
4) **Max Overload Voltage
※ Please contact our sales representatives or engineers for other specifications
Rated Voltage
1. The rated voltage for resistor can be a DC continuous working voltage or AC(rms) voltage in
commercial line frequency wave form at rated power. It can be expressed as below.
𝐸 = 𝑃 × 𝑅 E : Rated Voltage[V] P : Rated Power[W] R : Nominal Resistance[Ω]
If the value calculated by the equation exceeds Max working Voltage, the rated voltage is limited
to max working voltage. In other words, the lower value is the rated voltage.
ex) For RC1608 Series [ P=0.1(W), Max working voltage = 50(V) ]
1) The rated voltage, when R=1KΩ 2) The rated voltage, when R=100KΩ
𝐸 = 0.1 × 1000 =10(𝑉) 𝐸 = 0.1 × 100000 =100(𝑉)
When the value is lower than MWV, When the value is higher than MWV,
The Rated voltage is 10(V) The Rated voltage is equal MWV, as 50(V)
2. When the rated voltage is applied to the resistor, check the ambient temperature and decrease
the lower according to the power derating curve.
3. If higher voltage than rated voltage, the reliability condition and performance cannot be
guaranteed.
4. If pulse wave is applied, the maximum pulse power should be below the rated voltage.

Precautions for Product Safety
1. The products are designed and produced for general electronic devices applications.
User must contact our sales in-charge before using our products, if there is a risk to occur critical
issues, such as casualties due to breakdown or malfunction of devices from application on products
demanding high reliability or other safety devices, also for complicated products such as
medical equipment, transportation equipment, an aircraft/spacecraft, an atomic energy
controller, a fuel controller, automobile equipment, military equipment, disaster/crime preventive
equipment.
2. The products are designed for use in the standard environment. Do not use products in specific
environment that can affect a product performance. If you need to use products in the
following conditions, please contact our sales in-charge in advance.
Various types of liquid including water, oil, organic solvent and other chemicals.
Direct sunlight, outdoors, or atmosphere with an amount of dusts.
An amount of corrosive gases such as sea breeze, Cl2, H2S, NH3, SO2, NO2, and etc.
Strong static electricity or electromagnetic waves
Heat-producing components or inflammable materials are close.
A resistor is sealed or coated with materials such as synthetic resin, and etc.
Water or water-soluble detergent is used for cleaning free soldering or flux coating after
Condensation phenomenon occurs on the object.
Out of the range from -55 °C to +155(125) °C
3. The products have no radiation resistance.
4. It is a must to notify the person in charge of sales of issues on product safety at any time.
In addition, a regular monitor for product safety should be conducted by customers.
Precautions regarding the use of products.
1. Product characteristics must be evaluated on a board mounted.
2. When transitory load is used in which short-time load is applied such as pulse, a resistor should
be tested on a board mounted. If load is higher than rated voltage under the load conditions at
continuous steps, it causes damages on characteristics or reliability of the resistor. Therefore,
when load exceed the rated voltage, it is not allowed to apply.
3. It is not recommended to use halogen products such as chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), etc. or
fluxes that are highly active due to the residue that is able to affect the characteristics or
reliability of a resistor.
4. Be careful with the soldering condition to avoid the Ag-solder penetration problems.
Thick Film Chip Resistors (RC Series)

5. When soldering manually, do not touch a resistor body with the edge of soldering iron directly.
When working with a soldering iron at high temperature, please be done with the work as
quick as possible.
6. Physical shocks to the resistor can cause the breaking of protective layers of the product and
affect its characteristic adversely. Therefore, use caution when picking and moving Chip-R with
hard instruments such as metal tweezers in order to avoid damages on a resistor or
degradation of product performance degradation.
7. Do not soak the resistor in a solvent for a long time. Also, the effect of solvent must be
checked prior to use.
8. Place products carefully to keep the standard temperature range in the category, otherwise
increasing temperature caused by adjacent heat-generating components can exceed the
temperature range. In addition, do not place or install heat-emitting components or flammable
materials such as plastic coating wires near these products.
9. Safety can be guaranteed only when average power is lower than rated power, and if power
exceeding the rated power is applied, please make sure to make an inquire on surge voltage or
a current waveform for a short time.
Recommendation for temperature/humidity
Even taping and packaging materials are designed to endure a long-term storage, they should
be stored with a temperature of 0~40°C and an RH of 0~70% otherwise, too high temperatures
or humidity may deteriorate the quality of the product rapidly.
As oxidization is accelerated when relative humidity is above 70%RH, the lower the humidity is,
the better the solderability is.
As the temperature difference may cause dew condensation during the storage of the product,
it is a must to maintain a temperature control environment.
Shelf life
An allowable storage period should be within 6 months from the outgoing date of delivery in
consideration of solderability.
It can be stored for a long time in vacuum at room temperature, but if vacuum condition is not
available, it is recommended to be stored in a dry condition inside desiccator.
As for products in storage over 6 months, please check solderability before use.
