Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. now offers 5-W devices in its AC and AC-AT series of cemented, axial-leaded wirewound resistors with a SMD lead bending option. This WSZ lead form allows the devices to be ...

How to treat sub-milliohm chips as a separate class of component. Strategies to avoid pitfalls during component selection and PCB layout design. Uncover opportunities ...

Surface-mounted resistors are resistors that contain numerical figures in codes similar to the ones used on axial lead-type resistors. These resistors use SMT technology to decrease the proportions of ...

High-power SMD ceramic-based chip resistors are susceptible to solder joint failure, cracking, and pulling the solder lands off the PCB. High power SMD ceramic-based chip resistors are susceptible to ...

RNCE0402 75V 63mW RNCE0603 100V 100mW RNCE0805 150V 125mW RNCE1206 200V 250mW. (Power rating is at 70°C. For lower resistances, √(PxR) will reduce max voltage.) “Many thin film resistors fail to ...

Many factors affect the long-term reliability of ceramic-substrate-based chip resistors. Among those are changes in resistance due to soldering, temperature changes, or even the expected shifts in ...

Stackpole has introduced surface-mount resistors with terminations on their long edges to improve thermal conductivity. “One of the most common and economical options for reducing the effects of high ...
