1. Thermal Cycling Failure Mechanism & FOSAN Technical Solutions
The combined impact of thermal cycling and mechanical stress mainly causes stress concentration at the joint between electrodes and solder. Ordinary resistors feature limited structural strength of electrodes, so long-term thermal shock and mechanical load will easily trigger electrode delamination, substrate cracks and pad fractures, and eventually lead to open circuit.
By optimizing multi-layer electrode structure, enhancing electrode bonding strength and adopting upgraded temperature & humidity resistant materials, FOSAN fundamentally improves thermal cycling resistance, greatly reduces risks of cracking and poor contact. Our products can operate stably long-term within the wide temperature range of -55℃ to +155℃, fully meeting service requirements under harsh conditions for automotive and industrial control applications.
