High voltage applications frequently require high resistance value resistors with the ability to handle high working and overload voltages. Engineers may have difficulty finding thick film chip resistors with the required precision for applications requiring tight resistance tolerance and TCR tracking. For precision high-voltage applications, a high-voltage divider chip can be beneficial. Stackpole’s new HVCD […]

Resistors provide improved reliability for automotive and industrial applications
Many types of electronic products across a variety of market segments require higher reliability components. Automotive grade resistors offer increased reliability and improved performance without the high cost and limited availability of components procured to established reliability military specifications. For those applications that also require a defined pulse withstanding the options become limited. Stackpole’s RPCA […]
EC-Q200 qualified automotive-grade chip resistor is also anti-sulfur and lead-free
Stackpole introduces the RMEA Series, an automotive grade chip resistor that is not only fully lead-free but also AEC-Q200 qualified and anti-sulfur. Automotive grade chip resistors adhere to higher materials and process standards as well as 100% AOI to ensure the consistent performance and long-term reliability that general-purpose chip resistors cannot guarantee. The RMEA is […]
High-power, thin film chip resistors withstand harsh environments
Industrial electronic controls and instrumentation pose challenges to designers. Industrial applications require high power handling and stability in harsh environmental environments, but also may need precision tolerances and TCRs; a difficult combination for film chip resistors. It is difficult to achieve high power ratings with thin film resistor technology normally used for precision requirements. Stackpole’s […]
Thin film precision resistors offer full capability up to 80°C, operation up to 170°C
Automotive and industrial applications may have harsh environmental requirements for resistors. When those requirements include high-temperature capability and high precision, options are limited. Stackpole’s RNHT thin film precision resistors offer full power capability up to 85 degrees C and operation up to 170 degrees C. The automotive grade RNHT is AEC qualified and offers a […]
Improved TCR on thin film current sense chip resistors
Power supplies and current sensing circuits have requirements that are as diverse as the end products they serve. Some applications, for example, need low TCR without requiring low values associated with metal alloy resistors. It can be challenging to find such a resistor. Thick film technology is generally used for higher sense resistor values, but they have poor […]
SMD current shunt resistors offer resistance values as low as 0.2 mΩ
Stackpole’s popular HCS series raised element SMD current shunt resistors to offer resistance values as low as 0.2 milliohm and power ratings up to 10W, which allows the HCS to sense currents up to 224 amps. In addition, TCR for the HCS is ±50 ppm for a wide range of values which ensures accurate sensing […]
Resistor series tackle surges up to 10 kV
High-voltage applications such as HVAC controls, appliance and white goods controls, metering, automation, medical devices, digital storage, and surge protection devices typically require resistors with a high working voltage that may be challenging to find. If the applications are low current or low energy, film resistors are an ideal technology. The ASR / ASRM series […]
Metal film low-resistance chip resistors available in 0.25 W up to 2 W for power control applications
Applications such as industrial and automotive power control require low resistance values, high power ratings, and resistance to sulfur contamination. Thick film chip resistors are not typically sulfur resistant, especially in higher power ratings, and many high-power resistor series do not offer values below 1 ohm. Stackpole’s CSRT-AS series offers low resistance values, anti-sulfur performance, […]
Zero-ohm jumpers handle up to 158 A
Zero-ohm jumpers are commonly used in a wide range of markets and end products. They make circuitry routing easier and simplify manufacturing. Jumper requirements for higher current levels frequently exceed the capability of general-purpose jumpers. The maximum current rating for thick film general-purpose jumpers is only 3 amps and high current thick film jumpers typically […]
