Robustness of terminations
The leads meet the requirements of IEC 60068-2-21. They may not be bent closer than 4 mm
from the solder joint on the thermistor body or from the point at which they leave the feed-
throughs. During bending, any mechanical stress at the outlet of the leads must be removed. The
bending radius should be at least 0.75 mm.
Tensile strength:
Test Ua1:
Leads
0.50 <
∅ ≤0.80
mm = 10.0 N
0.80 <
∅ ≤1.25
mm = 20.0 N
Bending strength: Test Ub:
Two 90°-bends in opposite directions at a weight of 0.25 kg.
Torsional strength: Test Uc: severity 2
The lead is bent by 90° at a distance of 6 to 6.5 mm from the thermistor body.
The bending radius of the leads should be approx. 0.75 mm. Two torsions of
180° each (severity 2).
