The Vishay D/CRCW e3 series are standard thick film chip resistors. The resistance range includes E96 and E24 decade values from 1ohm to 10Mohm. CRCW e3 series resistors have a pure tin solder contacts on the Ni barrier layer that provides compatibility with reflow soldering process.
Precious metal terminations are screen printed onto ceramic base and fired. The resistive element is screen printed and fired and the passivation layer added. Each resistor is trimmed to tolerance by laser. The pre-scribed tile is broken into strips, the end plating is fired on the strips broken into individual components. Final termination is made by electroplating.
