Commercial and industrial power electronics increasingly demand robust power supplies with high stability and low thermal resistance. For these requirements, standard chip resistors may not be the best solution. Wide terminal chip resistors, such as Stackpole’s RMCW, provide terminations on the long sides of the chip to provide better current handling and thermal resistance. The […]

Automotive grade chip resistors offer high reliability
Many types of electronic devices now benefit from the higher reliability of automotive-grade resistors. By specifying automotive-grade resistors, design engineers in any market segment can increase electrical stability and environmental reliability without the significant increase in cost normally associated with established reliability resistors. Stackpole’s RMCA series is AEC Q200 qualified and provides excellent long-term reliability. […]
Thick-film chip resistors feature full RoHS compliance
Surface-mount resistors have complied with the EU’s ROHS standards through exemption 7c-I. The exemption has been extended twice, but with an expiration date looming, many companies are seeking fully RoHS-compliant parts. To help companies transition to 100% RoHS compliant lead-free resistors, Stackpole offers its RMEF Series. Stackpole’s RMEF is a general-purpose resistor series offering resistance […]
Chip resistors are AEC qualified
Electronics that require high reliability are no longer confined to military, aerospace, medical, or automotive market sectors. Many types of electronic end products now demand the higher reliability provided by automotive-grade resistors. Automotive-grade resistors offer increased reliability without the high cost of established reliability Mil-Standard products which allows engineers to increase the reliability of their […]
Small nichrome chip resistors handle 0.05 W
As design engineers continue to push the miniaturization of electronic devices while maintaining or increasing functionality, there is a corresponding need for smaller and more precise electronic components, such as chip resistors. If a precision application requires both small size and high-power handling, finding suitable precision resistors may be challenging. Stackpole recently increased the power […]
Thin-film chip resistors target high-precision apps
The widely used RNCF Series from Stackpole is a thin-film chip resistor series capable of outstanding precision. From sizes 0201 up to 2512 the RNCF offers 0.01% tolerances for a wide range of resistance values. The RNCF also offers TCR down to 2 ppm for a significant value range for all sizes but the 0201 […]
