Raleigh, N.C.—Providing a high-power, low-cost alternative to thick film resistive technology, Stackpole Electronics' RNCP Series thin film chip resistors insure high accuracy with a low TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance).

Featuring absolute tolerances to ±1% and a TCR of ±100ppm/°C, the RNCP Series resistors are available in 0402, 0603, 0805 and 1206 chip sizes, with power ratings from 0.1W to 0.5W and maximum working voltages from 50V to 200V.

According to Stackpole, the RNCP Series offers twice the power rating compared to standard thick film technology. It features high tolerance to harsh environments, including shock, vibration and temperature extremes. The RNCP Series does not use lead-containing glass making the part 100% lead-free.

Stackpole has eliminated silver from the terminations, making the part impervious to sulfur while avoiding the use of expensive metals like gold. This reduces the cost of the resistor to be within 10% of a traditional standard thick film chip and significantly reduces noise and interrupted power, according to the company.

Intended for harsh environments and systems that require long-term reliability, such as industrial and off-highway applications, the RNCP Series offer all of the advantages of thin film technology, including high stability, low noise and high operating temperatures.

Pricing: Varies with chip size, tolerance, and resistance value and ranges from around $1.00 per thousand to $10.00 per thousand in full reel quantities.
Availability: Now on standard 7-inch reels.
