Film resistors suited to high sulfur and high humidity applications

02-11-2022 | Stackpole | Passives

Environmental stability for thin film resistors has grown more important with increased electronic content. For example, sulfur contamination for film resistors is becoming a more central issue for a broad range of end products. Electronic devices and circuitry can encounter sulfur in the presence of gaskets, hoses, oils, lubricants, and atmospheric gasses in highly industrial areas. Finding anti-sulfur resistors may be difficult and seeking those that are also moisture-resistant is yet more challenging.

The RNCS-AS series from Stackpole Electronics provides a precision thin film anti-sulfur option with outstanding anti-sulfur performance as measured by ASTMB-809-95 sulfur testing with a maximum shift of lower than 0.5%. The series is also highly resistant to moisture corrosion, with lower than 0.1% resistance shift under industry standard testing at 85C, 85% relative humidity, and 10% rated power.

The device is ideal for various industrial, medical, test and measurement, and precision control applications.
