Resistor arrays now qualified to AEC-Q200 in most popular sizes

Stackpole's popular RAVF Series convex termination chip resistor arrays and RACF concave termination arrays are now qualified to AEC-Q200 for the most popular sizes. Qualified sizes include 0402 X 2, 0402 X 4, and 0603 X 4 for the RAVF and 0603 X 4 for the RACF. As per AEC-Q200, chip resistors and chip arrays must have an operating temperature range of -50C 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.
