Tantalum nitride anti-moisture precision resistors suit multiple applications

Current market conditions have made finding generally used components such as precision chip resistors more difficult. If the application needs robust stability and moisture withstanding, tantalum nitride technology is a superb solution. Unfortunately, these resistors often have long lead times and are not typically available from stock.

Stackpole Electronic’s RTAN series is an AEC-compliant precision chip resistor with many popular resistance values available from stock in the 0805 and 1206 sizes. Also, the lead times on the RTAN are generally 12-16 weeks depending on chip size.

The series sputtered resistive element is constructed from tantalum nitride, supplying a resistor with high stability and reliability that is impervious to moisture. Therefore, the RTAN series can withstand harsh environmental conditions, especially where high humidity or moisture is a concern.

The RTAN series is ideal for various precision application requirements, including instrumentation, aerospace, test equipment, industrial controls, portable communications diagnostic equipment, and portable medical devices.
