New high-power thick-film ceramic resistors suit wider variety of applications

Designed to handle high pulse power and energy better than standard thick-film chip resistors, Stackpole's new RPC Series employs thick film on ceramic technology. The new high-power versions allow the RPC Series to be used in a wider variety of applications and can help design engineers downsize designs. Standard power ratings for the RPC0603 is 0.1W, for the 1206 it is 0.33W, and for the 2010 it is 0.75W. This allows the RPC to be used in a wider variety of applications and can help design engineers downsize their design. Some applications include power supplies, LED Drivers, small motor controls, DSL modems, and thermostats and HVAC controls.
