Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is resistor production, surface-mounted. The Reference Product is resistor, surface-mounted. This is an electric component usually soldered to a printed wiring board (PWB) in electronic circuits. Resistors are used to reduce electric current and the voltage in an electric circuit. For this product it is assumed that a typical SMD type resistor electronic module has an average weight of 9.8 milligrams. A surface mount resistor consists of two electrodes on either side of a insulating substrate onto which a film of resistive material is deposited. This component is designed for surface mounting. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
