Miniature future for
passive electronic components
Jürgen Geier, Christian Kasper, Jochen Neller, Bert Weiss Rutronik Passive electronic components are getting smaller, but the are also providing better performance within the same form factor. Twenty years ago form factors such as 1812 and 1206 were widely used. Today’s most commonly specified sizes are 0603 and 0402. The range extends down to 01005 […]

Precision chip resistors sport ±0.05% tolerances
TT Electronics has announced an extension to its WIN series range of precision chip resistors with improved tolerances and TCRs. The minimum ohmic value is now halved to 5 ohms, and a tolerance of ±0.05% and TCR of ±15ppm/°C is now included. In addition, WIN is now available with optional SnPb terminations, allowing its use […]
