High power pulse withstanding chip resistors for high-reliability applications

As power ratings continue to increase, the power handling demands for chip resistors also increase. If the application also needs reliable pulse handling, the options for high continuous power handling, high pulse handling, and precision tolerances can be limited.

The RPC-UP from Stackpole Electronics uses a unique element formation and limited trimming for excellent pulse withstanding, high power ratings, and tolerances as low as 0.5%. Power ratings offered are RPC0603-UP is 0.33W, RPC0805-UP is 0.5W, RPC1206-UP is 0.75W, and RPC1210-UP is 1W.

The exceptional pulse and high-power handling allow the RPC-UP to be used in applications that normally require larger and more expensive resistor types. Many popular values are now in stock.
