The expansion further enhances the RPC higher power capability beyond the recent additions of the RPC0805, UP rated at 0.5W and RPC1206, UP rated at 0.75W. This improved performance allows the RPC to be used in applications normally requiring a larger resistor such as downsizing and smaller size requirements for consumer electronics and power control.
Pricing for the RPC0603-HP depends on resistance value, and tolerance and ranges from $0.0375 to $0.05 each in full package quantities.
