New automotive-grade high power pulse withstanding chip resistors

Stackpole Electronics Inc. has released its new RPCQ series of automotive grade high power pulse withstanding chip resistors. These resistors are developed to fulfil the demanding requirements of modern electronic designs, which often need components that can withstand significant inrush currents from power electronics switching and electric motor operations.

The series stands out with its unique materials and robust design, maximising pulse handling capability for a given chip size while providing high stability and long-term reliability. This series is AEC-Q200 qualified and delivers superior pulse handling compared to other resistors in the market. Also, the series features rigorous material and process controls to provide automotive-grade performance and stability. The thick film materials used in the series make it naturally moisture-resistant, and the device is anti-sulphur per ANSI/EAI977 standards.

With exceptional pulse handling, long-term stability, and reliability, the RPCQ series is excellent for various applications, including automotive electronics, data servers, industrial controls, switching power supply regulation, and motor controls.
