Vishay Intertechnology Inc.’s new 0.25-W surface-mount Power Metal Strip resistor features a power rating that matches that of larger 1206 size resistors Vishay Intertechnology Inc.’s new 0.25-W ...

For design engineers facing thermal cycling issues with power components in high-temperature environments, resistor manufacturer IRC has developed a “capped” version of its cylindrical power resistor ...

Thermal management is becoming more important as the density of electronic components in modern printed circuit boards (PCBs), as well as the applied power, continues to increase. Both factors lead to ...

TT Electronics has expanded its WHPC series of surface mount power resistors to include 1W (WHPC0508X), 1.5W (WHPC0612X) and 2W (WHPC1020X chip) sizes. These are the same size as the company’s ...

Vishay has extended its Automotive precision resistor range in 0402, 0603 and 0805 case sizes, which now rub up to 7.5MΩ with ±25ppm/K temperature resistance and ±0.1% tolerance. MCS 0402 AT, MCT 0603 ...

Many factors affect the long-term reliability of ceramic-substrate-based chip resistors. Among those are changes in resistance due to soldering, temperature changes, or even the expected shifts in ...

A hard drive crash, and some other happenings that aren’t entirely clear to us, led [Devbisme] to put in a parts order. As he wanted to make the most of his shipping costs, he decided to fill out the ...
