Automotive grade high voltage chip resistors for EV power systems

Automotive electronics have historically been associated with low-voltage applications. The EV market has changed; today, EV designers face challenges when developing power systems. General-purpose chip resistors are typically rated up to only 200V or 300V, whereas EV power trains are generally 400V to 800V.

The company's RVCA is a thick film high voltage chip resistor series that is automotive grade, AEC-Q200 qualified, and anti-sulfur per EIA-977. It is provided in voltage ratings up to a 3KV rated 2512 size resistor with sizes 0805 and larger having at least a 400V rating.

Also, the device has exceptional performance under industry standard tests such as load life, biased humidity, short time overload, and temperature cycling, making it an excellent solution for high voltage applications in all environments and operating conditions.
