Vishay Intertechnology RCWK0306 Thick Film Chip Resistors Deliver Increased Accuracy While Saving Space and Reducing Componen...
June 26 2017 - 11:00AM
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today introduced a new
series of thick film surface-mount chip resistors featuring
four-terminal Kelvin connections and high power ratings of 0.33 W
in the compact 0306 case size. Offering a power density over 3.3x
higher than standard devices in the 0603 footprint, Vishay Dale
RCWK0306 series resistors are designed to save space and reduce
component counts in telecommunications, computer, industrial, and
consumer applications.
With their high power density, the devices released today can be
used instead of larger high power components or multiple lower
power devices. This reduces board space requirements and placement
costs while enabling smaller and lighter end products. In addition,
RCWK0306 series resistors provide higher reliability than larger
thick film devices by reducing the coefficient of thermal expansion
(CTE) mismatch with the PCB, thereby lowering solder joint
stress.
The resistors’ four-terminal Kelvin connection enables greater
measurement accuracy with extremely low resistance values from 0.01
Ω to 0.1 Ω and tolerance of 1 %. RoHS-compliant and halogen-free,
the devices feature a metal glaze thick film on high quality
ceramic. They are optimized as current sensing resistors in DC/DC
converters, voltage regulation modules, and inverters in cell
phones, computers, air conditioners, and heat pumps.
Samples and production quantities of the RCWK0306 are available
now, with lead times of six to eight weeks for large orders.
