High-voltage chip resistors work to 3500V and can take surges of up to 40kV

Stackpole’s popular high-voltage chip resistor, the HVCB Series, offers working voltages up to 3500 volts, and can handle surges of up to 40KV. The series is well known for its precision tolerances as tight as ±0.1% and TCR as low as ±25 ppm. There are now more than 100 individual HVCB part numbers in stock, either from Stackpole directly or online, in sizes from 0805 through 2512 in a range of resistance values. The exceptional voltage handling of the HVCB Series enables its use for a variety of applications where high voltage and pulse voltage handling are critical. The series is frequently used by engineers designing medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment, defibrillators, voltage dividers, and high voltage power supplies. The HVCB is available in chip sizes 0603, 0805, 1206, 2010, 2512 and 3512 and is RoHS compliant, says the company.
