Latest thick-film chip resistors qualified to AEC-Q200

Stackpole Electronics has announced that the RMCF Series of thick-film chip resistors is now qualified to AEC-Q200 for sizes from 0402 through 2512. Per AEC-Q200, the resistors must have an operating temperature range of -55C to 150C and survive a wide range of electrical and mechanical stress tests including exposure to high temperatures, temperature cycling, high temperature operational life, biased humidity, ESD, board flex, and terminal strength. Components qualified to AEC-Q200 provide engineers additional assurance that they are designing in a robust and reliable component, says the company.
