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 […]
Current-sensing foil-on-ceramic resistors sport 2 milliohm resistance
High efficiency in consumer electronics has become increasingly important. For portable electronics, this means lower resistance values on current sense resistors for battery and power management. Stackpole’s CSRF series is a foil on ceramic carrier chip resistor that is designed for these applications. The CSRF2512 is now available in resistance values down to 2 milliohms. […]
Ultra-high power thick-film chip resistors offer PCB space savings
Today’s electronics devices push the envelope for smaller designs and greater functionality. Stackpole’s RMCP-UP is a high-power thick film chip resistor with very high power ratings for each case size, ranging from 0.2W rated 0402 sizes to 3W 2512 size. These elevated power ratings allow design engineers to use smaller chip resistors to free up […]
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 […]
High-current jumpers handle up to 7 A
Electronic circuits frequently require zero-ohm jumpers for ease of manufacture or to make trace routing easier. Some of these applications require current handling that exceeds the capabilities of general-purpose or high current jumpers. Stackpole’s HCJ series offers more than double the current rating of comparable high current jumpers. The HCJ current ratings range from 5.8A for […]
Current shunt resistors handle 5 W in space-efficient 2818 package
Power management applications for frequency converters, inverters, and hybrid power modules demand high power with environmental and electrical stability. While high power shunt resistors for current sensing are becoming more readily available, there is normally a tradeoff between high power and stable performance to achieve the higher power rating. Stackpole’s HCSM utilizes a metal element and […]
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 […]
All-metal current-sense chip resistors feature 1-W power rating
IoT and Robotics require high efficiency and small size to maximize functionality. For current sensing, this means high power in small case sizes and low resistance values. The CSSH0805 from Stackpole is an all-metal chip resistor with a 1W power rating, resistance values down to 0.5 milliohms, and TCR ranging from 50 ppm to 100 […]
Ultra-precision current-sense chips feature resistance range to 80 mΩ
The CSSH2512 from Stackpole is an all metal current sense chip resistor capable of precision tolerances as low as 0.5% and TCR as low as 15 ppm. The resistance range for the 3-W 2512 size chip has been expanded and now spans from 0.5 mΩ up to 80 mΩ. The high precision combined with the […]
